James M Black – death, Dec. 21, 1938

When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound, and time shall be no more,
And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair;
When the saved of earth shall gather over on the other shore,
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.

Refrain

When the roll, is called up yon-der,
When the roll, is called up yon-der,
When the roll, is called up yon-der,
When the roll is called up yonder I’ll be there.

On that bright and cloudless morning when the dead in Christ shall rise,
And the glory of His resurrection share;
When His chosen ones shall gather to their home beyond the skies,
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.

Let us labor for the Master from the dawn till setting sun,
Let us talk of all His wondrous love and care;
Then when all of life is over, and our work on earth is done,
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.

---

В час, когда труба Господня над землею прозвучит
И настанет вечно светлая заря,
Имена Он всех спасенных в перекличке повторит,
Там по милости Господней буду я.

Припев

На небесной перекличке,
На небесной перекличке,
На небесной перекличке,
Там по милости Господней буду я.

В день блаженный воскресенья всех умерших во Христе,
Водворенья их в обители Царя,
Всех святых, омытых кровию, пролитой на кресте,
Созовет Он, и на зов отвечу я.

Припев

Дай трудиться для Тебя, Господь, любовью всем служить
С утра раннего и до заката дня,
А когда велишь работу мне земную Ты сложить,
На небесный клич тогда предстану я.
