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.

Chorus

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.
