When King Jesus calls His children home      When they plant me like a seed in the ground   In silent sleep beneath some mossy mound   I'll be like a rose just waitin' for the spring   'Cause I'm a gonna rise up, rise up, shout and sing      'Cause there ain't no grave gonna hold my body down   When I hear, I hear that trumpet sound   I know, I've been a dyin' since the day that I was born   But now I'm living for that resurrection morn'      When King Jesus calls His children home   When King Jesus calls His children home   I'm gonna wear my snow white gown   I'm gonna put on a starry crown   When King Jesus calls His children home      Like a bird in a cage that's been set free   My soul will sing throughout eternity   I'll shed this mortal shell, let ol' Satan stay in Hell   I'll see glory that no human tongue can tell      When King Jesus calls His children home   When King Jesus calls His children home   I'm gonna wear my snow white gown   I'm gonna put on a starry crown   When King Jesus calls His children home, yeah      Ye know not the hour, ye know not the day   So, be humble, my children, hide and watch and pray   When King Jesus calls His children home      When King Jesus calls His children home   When King Jesus calls His children home   I'm gonna wear my snow white gown   I'm gonna put on a starry crown   When King Jesus calls His children home      When King Jesus calls His children home   When King Jesus calls His children home   I'm gonna wear my snow white gown   I'm gonna put on a starry crown   When King Jesus calls His children home      When King Jesus calls His children home   When King Jesus calls His children home   I'm gonna wear my snow white gown   I'm gonna put on a starry crown   When King Jesus calls His children home      When King Jesus calls His children home   When King Jesus calls His children home   I'm gonna wear my snow white gown   I'm gonna put on a starry crown   When King Jesus calls His children home
