1 When the message from the Lord shall come,
And work on earth is o’er,
And the morning breaks in Heaven bright and fair,
When the trumpet from the clouds shall sound,
We’ll gather on that shore—
At the calling of the roll I’ll be there.

Refrain:
At the calling of the roll,
At the calling of the roll,
At the calling of the roll,
At the calling of the roll I’ll be there.

2 There no night or darkness e’er shall come—
Our Master lights the shore—
With the angels we the harps and songs will share,
And we’ll dwell there in the mansions
That our Master has in store—
At the calling of the roll I’ll be there. [Refrain]

3 In the vineyard of our Master
Let us labor with our might,
Let us tell the love of Jesus everywhere,
For our work will soon be over,
And we’ll stand in Jesus’ sight—
At the calling of the roll I’ll be there. [Refrain]

4 When we reach the glorious promised land,
To dwell forevermore,
Love and sunshine filling all with beauty rare,
Where the streets are paved with precious gold
Along the heav’nly shore—
At the calling of the roll I’ll be there. [Refrain]
