When the Roll is Called Up Yonder
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)
Let us labor 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. (Refrain)
and the Joyful Harts Music Library
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 yon-der,
When the roll, is called up yon-der,
When the roll, is called up yon-der,
When the roll is called up yonder I’ll be there.
Daniel Chapter 12
1And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth
for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble,
such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time:
and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. 2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
Worship Suggestion:
The sound file is looped.
1. As the song plays the first time, (During Verse 1) make remarks about the joy and anticipation of a glorious heaven prepared for us by Jesus Christ. Emphasize that we can be encouraged in our daily struggles if we remember that we will one day be numbered with the saints in heaven. We look forward to a life of eternal joy with the Lord our God.
2. As the song continues, (During Verses 2 - 3) read the scripture from Daniel 12:1-4 and Luke 10:16-20.
Let the song end.
3. When the song restarts, sing Verses 1 - 3 together.
4. Prayer and Meditation.
