WHEN THE ROLL IS CALLED UP YONDER. James M Black

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.
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].

WHAT A DAY THAT WILL BE. Jim Hill
1. There’s coming a day when no heartaches shall come
No more clouds in the sky No more tears to dim the eye
All is peace forever more On that happy golden shore
What a day, glorious day that will be
Refrain:
What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see
When I look upon His face the one who saved my by His grace
When He takes me by the hand
and leads me to the promised land
What a day, glorious day that will be
2. There will be no sorrows there and no more burdens to bear
No more sickness and, no more pain
No more parting over there
And forever I will be with the one who died for me
What a day, glorious day that will be (Refrain)
