Lyrics

When the trum­pet shall sound and the dead shall arise;
When the Sav­ior ap­pears and des­cends from the skies,
Then the saints from the earth shall be gathered ab­ove,
There to dwell with the Lord in the man­sions of love.

Refrain

In that day, when the saints of the Lord,
Shall be placed on the right, to re­ceive their re­ward,
They shall praise the King who arose from the grave,
Blessèd Sav­ior of all, ev­er migh­ty to save.

In the day of all days when our Lord shall ap­pear;
In His pow­er and might, to this world shall draw near,
When the ran­somed of earth join the hosts of the Lord,
Then, in glo­ry re­ceive their bright­est re­ward.

Refrain

All the glo­ry of God, and the Ci­ty of Gold;
Of the splen­dors of Heav­en no mor­tal has told,
For no eye has yet seen nor has ear ev­er heard,
Of the won­der­ful things in the house of the Lord.

Refrain

When the an­gel shall stand on the land and the sea;
To the na­tions shall cry, Time no long­er shall be;
When the judg­ment shall come, who’ll be able to stand,
And be one of the blest at the Sav­ior’s right hand.

Refrain
