When They Call My Name
Some morning soon
I'm gonna take to the air
I'm gonna leave
This world of sorrow and care
I'll hear the welcome bells all ringing
Homeward I'll be winging
When they call my name
(Some morning they'll be)
Some of these mornings
They'll be calling my name
(They'll call me to that)
Calling me yonder
To that heavenly plain
(And when they swing those)
When I see them
Swinging wide those pearly gates
I'll be ready
I won't have to hesitate
(I'll fly just like a)
Flying up high
Just like a bird in the sky
(Then I'll be leaving)
Leaving this world
Yes, I'll be saying goodbye
And I'll have nothing to lose
And everything to gain
When they call my name
It won't be long
'Til I shall hear the trump sound
It won't be long
'Til I shall leave this low ground
My heart with gladness overflowing
Homeward I'll be going
When they call my name
(Some morning they'll be)
Some of these mornings
They'll be calling my name
(They'll call me to that)
Calling me yonder
To that heavenly plain
(And when they swing those)
When I see them
Swinging wide those pearly gates
I'll be ready
I won't have to hesitate
(I'll fly just like a)
Flying up high
Just like a bird in the sky
(Then I'll be leaving)
Leaving this world
Yes, I'll be saying goodbye
And I'll have nothing to lose
And everything to gain
When they call my name
(Some morning they'll be)
Some of these mornings
They'll be calling my name
(They'll call me to that)
Calling me yonder
To that heavenly plain
(And when they swing those)
When I see them
Swinging wide those pearly gates
I'll be ready
I won't have to hesitate
Oh, I'll be flying up high
Just like a bird in the sky
Leaving this world
Yes, I'll be saying goodbye
And I'll have nothing to lose
And everything to gain
When they call my name
When they call my name
