Author: Charles P. Jones Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #503 (2011) Hymnal Title: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal First Line: When judgment day is drawing nigh Refrain First Line: O where shall I be when the first trumpet sounds? Lyrics: 1 When judgment day is drawing nigh,
Where shall I be?
When God the works of men shall try,
Where shall I be?
When east and west the fire shall roll,
Where shall I be?
How will it be with my poor soul,
Where shall I be?
Refrain:
O where shall I be when the first trumpet sounds?
O where shall I be when it sounds so loud?
When it sounds so loud as to wake up the dead,
O where shall I be when it sounds?
2 When wicked men His wrath shall see,
Where shall I be?
And to the rocks and mountains flee,
Where shall I be?
When hills and mountains flee away,
Where shall I be?
When all the works of men decay,
Where shall I be? [Refrain]
3 When heaven and earth, as some great scroll,
Where shall I be?
Shall from God's angry presence roll,
Where shall I be?
When all the saints redeemed shall stand,
Where shall I be?
Forever blest at God's right hand,
Where shall I be? [Refrain]
4 All trouble done, all conflict past,
Where shall I be?
And old Apolyon bound at last,
Where shall I be?
When Christ shall reign from shore to shore,
Where shall I be?
And peace abide forevermore,
Where shall I be? [Refrain] Topics: The Christian Life Death and Life Eternal; Everlasting Life; Judgment; Victory Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:16 Languages: English Tune Title: WHERE SHALL I BE
