When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder
"Behold, I show you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." ! Corinthians 15:51, 52
7 -8 8 8 8
When the trum-pet of
8 8 -8 7
the Lord shall sound,
7 -8 7 7 -6 6
and time shall be no more,
7 -8 8 8 8
And the morn-ing breaks,
8 8 8 -8 7 -8
e-ter-nal, bright, and fair;
7 -8 8 8 8 8 8 -8
When the saved of earth shall gath-er
7 7 -8 7 7 -6 6
o-ver on the oth-er shore,
7 -8 8 8 8 7 -8 -8
And the roll is called up yon-der
-8 -7 7
I'll be there.
chorus
8 -9 9 -9 8 -9 9 8
When the roll is called up yon-der,
8 8 -9 8 -8 8 -9 -8
When the roll is called up yon-der,
8 -9 9 8 -8 7 7 -9
When the roll is called up yon-der,
-9 -8 8 8 8 7 -8 -8
When the roll is called up yon-der,
-8 -7 7
I'll be there.
verse 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!
verse 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!
