The Cyber Hymnal ‎#16974

16974. I'll Be There

1. On the great and fi­nal day,
I will rise and shout and sing;
I’ll be there! I’ll be there!
Praises to the Lord of hosts,
He’s my Sav­ior, Priest and King;
I’ll be there! I’ll be there!

Refrain

I’ll be there! I’ll be there!
On the re­sur­rect­ion morn­ing,
I’ll be there! I’ll be there!
I’ll be there!
On the re­sur­rect­ion morn­ing,
I’ll be there!

2. When the trump of God shall sound,
And the dead in Christ shall rise;
I’ll be there! I’ll be there!
To be borne on wings of love,
To the man­sions in the skies,
I’ll be there! I’ll be there!

Refrain

3. On the re­sur­rect­ion morn,
What a gath­’ring that will be!
I’ll be there! I’ll be there!
Singing prais­es to the Lamb,
In that saint­ed com­pa­ny!
I’ll be there! I’ll be there!

Refrain

4. What a meet­ing that will be,
With the snow-white an­gel band!
I’ll be there! I’ll be there!
We can sing de­liv­er­ance,
In that bright and hap­py land!
I’ll be there! I’ll be there!
