All who are in their graves will hear His voice and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned. John 5:28–29

Lyrics

In the re­sur­rect­ion morn­ing,
When the Sav­ior comes, ’tis said,
Robed in all His white adorn­ing,
He will raise the si­lent dead;
With the migh­ty trum­pet sound,
Wake the na­tions from the ground;
Lost of ag­es shall be found
In the re­sur­rect­ion morn.

Refrain

In the re­sur­rect­ion morning,
We shall hear the trum­pet sound;
Christ will come in white adorn­ing,
With ma­jes­tic glo­ry crowned.

In the re­sur­rect­ion morn­ing,
Time will end for­ev­er here,
And the re­cords we are mak­ing,
At the judg­ment shall ap­pear.
All our mor­tal life below,
Must de­ter­mine where we’ll go,
Home above, or down to woe,
In the re­sur­rect­ion morn.

Refrain

In the re­sur­rect­ion morn­ing,
All the dead of ag­es past,
Both the right­eous and the wick­ed,
Each shall hear the trum­pet blast.
They shall stand before the Lord,
And re­ceive their own re­ward,
Judged by His eter­nal word,
In the re­sur­rect­ion morn.

Refrain

Then He’ll say unto the right­eous,
Come, ye bless­èd, live for aye
In the bright­est realms of glo­ry,
Where there shines one last­ing day.

Turning to the lost, He’ll say,
There in out­er dark­ness stay,
You have tri­fled time away—
Sinner, this is your re­ward.
