Up Yonder

 

WHEN THE ROLL IS CALLED UP YONDER

by 

James M. Black

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 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.

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. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]

Praise and Adore

Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore him!

PRAISE TO THE LORD!

by

Joachim Neander (1680); Translator: Catherine Winkworth (1863)

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!

O my soul, praise him, for he is your health and salvation!

Come, all who hear; now to his temple draw near,

join me in glad adoration.

Praise to the Lord, above all things so wondrously reigning;

sheltering you under his wings, and so gently sustaining!

Have you not seen all that is needful has been

sent by his gracious ordaining?

Praise to the Lord, who will prosper your work and defend you;

surely his goodness and mercy shall daily attend you.

Ponder anew what the Almighty can do,

if with his love he befriends you.

Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore him!

All that has life and breath, come now with praises before him.

Let the Amen sound from his people again;

gladly forever adore him.

in the difficult circumstances, 

and when he chooses, 

He will alter them in two seconds.
