497. When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder

1 When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound
and time shall be no more,
And the morning breaks eternal, bright and fair;
When the saved of earth shall gather
over on the other shore,
And the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there!

Refrain:
When the roll is called up yonder,
When the roll is called up yonder,
When the roll is called up yonder,
When the roll is called up yonder I'll be there.

2 On that bright and cloudless morning
when the dead in Christ shall rise
And the glory of His resurrection share;
When His chosen ones shall gather
to their home beyond the skies,
And the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there! [Refrain]

3 Let us labor for the Master
from the dawn till setting sun,
Let us talk of all His wondrous love and care;
Then when all of life is over
and our work on earth is done,
And the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there! [Refrain]
