Lyrics

When the roll is called up yonder (as recorded by johnny cash)

G c g
When the trumpet of the lord shall sound, and time shall be no more
G a7 d
And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair;
G g7 c g
When the saved of earth shall gather over on the other shore
A7 g
And the roll is called up yonder, i'll be there

Chorus:
G
When the roll, is called up yonder
D7
When the roll, is called up yonder
G g7 c
When the roll, is called up yonder
G d7 g
When the roll is called up yonder i'll be there

Chorus

Let us labour 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

Chorus
