When the Roll is Called Up Yonder
Played and sung by Allan Bremer: October 2008
Taken from an arrangement heard by Craig Anderson / Written by James M. Black

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 - I'll be there

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 - 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, I'll be there

When I finally cross that river - when I reach the other shore
All the saints who've gone before me will be there
We will talk about our journey - we will talk about our Lord
When the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there

So let us labor for the master - from the dawn till setting sun
Let us talk of all His wonderous love and care
Then when all of life is over and our work on earth is done
When the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there - I'll be there

(Chorus)
