Lyrics

When the trump shall sound,
All the earth around,
And the dead shall hear;
When the morn­ing breaks,
And the soul awakes,
Will you be found up there?

Refrain

Will you be found up there?
Will you be found up there?
With the hosts above,
Chanting Je­sus’ love,
Will you be found up there?
Will you, will you?
Will you be found up there?
Will you, will you?
Will you be found up there?

When the Lord comes forth,
For His saints on earth,
Meets them in the air;
Will He call to you
For the great re­view?
Will you be found up there?

Refrain

When the mul­ti­tude
Of the great and good
Are as­sem­bled near
To the great white throne
Of the Ho­ly One,
Will you be found up there?
