In the Morning of Joy

1 When the trumpet shall sound,
And the dead shall arise,
And the splendors immortal
Shall envelop the skies,
When the angel of death
Shall no longer destroy,
And the dead shall awaken
In the morning of joy.

Refrain
In the morning of joy,
In the morning of joy,
We’ll be gathered to glory,
In the morning of joy;
In the morning of joy,
In the morning of joy,
We’ll be gathered to glory,
In the morning of joy.

2 When the King shall appear
In His beauty on high,
And shall summon His children
To the courts of the sky,
Shall the cause of the Lord
Have been all your employ,
That your soul may be spotless
In the morning of joy. [Refrain]

3 O the bliss of that morn
When our loved ones we meet,
With the songs of the ransom'd
We each other shall greet,
Singing praise to the Lamb,
Thro’ eternity’s years,
With the past all forgotten
With its sorrows and tears [Refrain]
