Text Based On 1 Thessalonians Chapter 4 (KJV)
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout,
with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God:
and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are
alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in
the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we
ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

WHEN THE TRUMPET OF THE LORD SHALL SOUND
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, When the roll, is called up yonder,
When the roll, When the roll, is called up yonder,
When the roll, 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 labour 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.
