Refrain:
My Lord, what a morning;
my Lord, what a morning;
oh, my Lord, what a morning,
when the stars begin to fall.

1 You'll hear the trumpet sound,
to wake the nations underground,
looking to my God's right hand,
when the stars begin to fall.
(Refrain)

2 You’ll hear the sinner moan,
to wake the nations underground,
looking to my God’s right hand,
when the stars begin to fall.
(Refrain)

3 You’ll hear the Christian shout,
to wake the nations underground,
looking to my God’s right hand,
when the stars begin to fall.
(Refrain)
