When the Lord shall call His peo­ple
All to­ge­ther ’round the throne,
Some day, some­where,
To re­ward with crowns of glo­ry
And avow them as His own,
Then I’ll be there.

Refrain

I’ll be there, I’ll be there,
At the great roll call in Hea­ven I’ll be there;
I’ll be there, I’ll be there,
At the great roll call in Hea­ven I’ll be there.

Tho’ my steps may some­times fal­ter
As I jour­ney thro’ the world,
T’ward home so fair;
When the pil­grim­age is ended,
And the ban­ners all are furled,
Then I’ll be there.

Refrain

When the har­vest shall be ga­thered
And the reap­ers raise their song,
Their joy I’ll share;
When the migh­ty choirs of Hea­ven
Shall their me­lo­dy pro­long,
Then I’ll be there.

Refrain

Those I love will be with Jesus
In their robes of spot­less white,
In beau­ty rare;
They were love­ly in the shadow,
They are fair­er in the light,
And I’ll be there,

Refrain

So I work for my Re­deem­er
With a smile up­on my face;
Away with care!
For I know that when they call my name,
By His amaz­ing grace
I shall be there.
