When the Trump Shall Sound

When the trump of God shall sound

And the books are op­ened wide

That the deeds which men

Have done may there be read

Will the Mas­ter’s voice be heard

Calling you un­to His side

When He comes to judge

The liv­ing and the dead?

When the trump of God shall sound

Can you come in­to His pre­sence una­fraid?

Can you wait with joy­ful heart

While the Mas­ter reads

The re­cord you have made?

When the fi­nal trump shall sound

And the Sav­ior shall des­cend

Through the clouds that hide

From me His shin­ing face

Can you bid Him quick­ly come

Thankful that He is your friend

Knowing well He has

Redeemed you by His grace?

When the trump of God shall sound

And the Lord shall se­pa­rate

From the worth­less chaff

His pre­cious grains of wheat

Will He bid you go or stay

What think you will be your fate

When the Mas­ter comes

Upon the judg­ment day?
