I trust when the roll is called up yonder, she’ll be there.” He tried to respond with an appropriate song, but could not find one in his song book:</p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>This lack of a fitting song caused me both sorrow and disappointment. An inner voice seemed to say, “Why don’t you write one?” I put away the thought. As I opened the gate on my way home, the same thought came again so strongly that tears filled my eyes. I entered the house and sat down at the piano. The words came to me effortlessly…The tune came the same way—I dared not change a single note or word.</p>

<p>When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound, and time shall be no more,<br>
|
|
And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair;<br>
|
|
When the saved of earth shall gather over on the other shore,<br>
|
|
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.</p>
|

<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>

<p class="refrain">When the roll, is called up yon-der,<br>
|
|
When the roll, is called up yon-der,<br>
|
|
When the roll, is called up yon-der,<br>
|
|
When the roll is called up yonder I’ll be there.</p>
|
|
<p>On that bright and cloudless morning when the dead in Christ shall rise,<br>
|
|
And the glory of His resurrection share;<br>
|
|
When His chosen ones shall gather to their home beyond the skies,<br>
|
|
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Let us labor for the Master from the dawn till setting sun,<br>
|
|
Let us talk of all His wondrous love and care;<br>
|
|
Then when all of life is over, and our work on earth is done,<br>
|
|
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.</p>
