101. You'll hear de trumpet sound

Refrain:
My Lord, what a morning,
My Lord, what a morning,
My Lord, what a morning,
When the stars begin to fall.

1 You'll hear de trumpet sound,
To wake de nations underground;
Look in my God’s right hand
When de stars begin to fall.
You'll hear de sinner moan,
To wake de nations underground;
Look in my God’s right hand,
When de stars begin to fall. [Refrain]

2 You'll hear de Christian sing
To wake de nations underground,
Look in my God’s right hand,
When de stars begin to fall.
You'll hear the angels sing,
To wake de nations underground,
Look in my God’s right hand,
When de stars begin to fall. [Refrain]

3 You'll hear my Jesus come,
To wake de nations underground,
Look in my God’s right hand,
When de stars begin to fall.
His chariot wheels roll around,
To wake de nations underground,
Look in my God’s right hand,
When de stars begin to fall. [Refrain]
