WHEN THE ROLL IS CALLED UP YONDER

 

WRITTEN BY: JAMES M. BLACK

 

VERSE ONE

 

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

When the roll is called up yonder I’ll be there

 

CHORUS

 

When the roll  -   --------  - ---- -- is called up yonder

When the roll                                                  I’ll be there

 

     When the roll - - - - - - - - - - - - is called up yonder

When the roll                                                  I’ll be there

 

           When the roll- - - - - - - - - - -- is called up yonder…(hold)

When the roll

 

         When the roll is called up yonder I’ll be there.

 

VERSE TWO

 

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

When the roll is called up yonder I’ll be there

(REPEAT CHORUS)

 

VERSE THREE

 

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

(REPEAT CHORUS)
