Lyrics

O when shall I see Jesus and reign with him above?
And shall hear the trumpet sound in that morning;
And from the flowing fountain, drink everlasting love?
And shall hear the trumpet sound in that morning.
O shout glory!
I shall mount above the skies when I hear that trumpet sound in that morning.

But now I am a soldier, my Captain's gone before;
And shall hear the trumpet sound in that morning.
He's given me my orders and he bids me ne'er give o'er.
And shall hear the trumpet sound in that morning.
O shout glory!
I shall mount above the skies when I hear that trumpet sound in that morning.

His promises are faithful and a righteous crown he'll give
When I hear the trumpet sound in that morning.
And all his valiant soldiers eternally shall live,
And hear the trumpet sound in that morning.
O shout glory!
I shall mount above the skies when I hear that trumpet sound in that morning.
