Lyrics

In the re­sur­rect­ion morn­ing,
When the trump of God shall sound,
We shall rise, Hal­le­lujah! we shall rise!
Then the saints will come re­joic­ing
And no tears will e’er be found,
We shall rise, Hal­le­lujah! we shall rise.

Refrain

We shall rise, Hal­le­lujah! we shall rise!
Amen! We shall rise! Hal­le­lujah!
In the re­sur­rect­ion morn­ing,
When death’s pri­son bars are brok­en,
We shall rise, Hal­le­lujah! We shall rise.

In the re­sur­rect­ion morn­ing,
What a meet­ing it will be,
We shall rise, Hal­le­lujah! we shall rise!
When our fa­thers and our mo­thers,
And our loved ones we shall see,
We shall rise, Hal­le­lujah! we shall rise!

Refrain

In the re­sur­rect­ion morn­ing,
Blessèd thought it is to me,
We shall rise, Hal­le­lujah! we shall rise!
I shall see my bless­èd Sav­ior,
Who so free­ly died for me,
We shall rise, Hal­le­lujah! we shall rise!

Refrain

In the re­sur­rect­ion morn­ing,
We shall meet Him in the air,
We shall rise, Hal­le­lujah! we shall rise!
And be car­ried up to glo­ry,
To our home so bright and fair,
We shall rise, Hal­le­lujah! we shall rise!
