When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder
Jim Nabors · Other Songs - Jim Nabors
And the morning breaks eternal bright and fair
When the saved diverse shall gather over on the other shore
And the roll is called up yonder I'll be there
When the roll is called up yonder when the roll is called up yonder
When the roll is called up yonder when the roll is
called up yonder I'll be there
Let us lay before the Master from the dawn till setting sun
Let us talk of all his wondrous love and care
And when all of life is over and our work on earth is done
When the roll is called up yonder I'll be there
When the roll is called up yonder
(When the roll is called up yonder I'll be there)
