216. When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder

Eb                                            Ab               Eb
When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound, and time shall be no more,

Eb                               F7         Bb
And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair;

         Eb                               Ab           Eb
When the saved of earth shall gather over on the other shore,

Eb                        Bb7             Eb
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.


When the roll is called up yonder,

         Bb7
When the roll is called up yonder,

         Eb                Ab
When the roll is called up yonder,

         Eb                Bb7             Eb
When the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 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.

[Verse 2]
On that bright and cloudless morning,
When the dead in Christ shall rise,
And the glory of His resurection 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.
