When the trump of God shall usher in
The awful judgment day,
I expect to hear the Savior call my name;
For I’m trusting in the promises,
His Word my constant stay,
O I’m sure I’ll hear the Savior call my name.
Refrain
Glory, glory hallelujah!
I expect to hear the Savior call my name;
Glory, glory hallelujah!
I expect to hear the Savior call my name.
When the skies shall roll together, and
The stars all disappear,
I expect to hear the Savior call my name;
He will disappoint me never, and
My soul shall know no fear,
For I’m sure I’ll hear the Savior call my name.
Refrain
O how sweet will be the music when,
Before the blood-washed throng,
I shall hear the blessèd Savior call my name;
Come, ye blessèd,
this His welcome,
To the home prepared for you
;
I’ll be glad to hear the Savior call my name.
Refrain
