Triumphant Songs No.3 ‎#43

43. I'll be There

1 My heav’nly home is bright and fair,
When the general roll is called, I’ll be there;
Nor pain nor death can enter there.
When the general roll is called, I’ll be there;

Refrain:
Oh, I’ll be there, Yes, I’ll be there;
When the general roll is called, I’ll be there.
Oh, I’ll be there, Yes, I’ll be there;
When the general roll is called, I’ll be there.

2 Its giltt’ring tow’rs the sun outshine,
When the general roll is called, I’ll be there;
That heav’nly mansion shall be mine.
When the general roll is called, I’ll be there. [Refrain]

3 My Father’s house is built on high,
When the general roll is called, I’ll be there;
Far, far above the starry sky.
When the general roll is called, I’ll be there. [Refrain]

4 When from this earthly prison free,
When the general roll is called, I’ll be there;
That heavenly mansion mine shall be.
When the general roll is called, I’ll be there. [Refrain]

5 While here, a stranger far from home,
When the general roll is called, I’ll be there;
Affliction’s waves may round me foam.
When the general roll is called, I’ll be there. [Refrain]

6 Although, like Lazarus, sick and poor,
When the general roll is called, I’ll be there;
My heavenly mansion is secure.
When the general roll is called, I’ll be there. [Refrain]

7 Let others seek a home below,
When the general roll is called, I’ll be there;
Which flames devour, or waves o’erflow.
When the general roll is called, I’ll be there. [Refrain]

8 Be mine the happier lot to own
When the general roll is called, I’ll be there;
A heavenly mansion near the throne.
When the general roll is called, I’ll be there. [Refrain]

9 Then fail the earth, let stars decline,
When the general roll is called, I’ll be there;
And sun and moon refuse to shine.
When the general roll is called, I’ll be there. [Refrain]

10 All nature sink and cease to be,
When the general roll is called, I’ll be there;
That heavenly mansion stands for me.
When the general roll is called, I’ll be there. [Refrain]
