Hallelujah, We Shall Rise by J. G. Stalnaker — Lyrics
1. On that resurrection morning,
When the trump of God shall sound,
Hallelujah! We shall rise!
Then the saints will come rejoicing
And no tears will e'er be found
Hallelujah! We shall rise!
2. On that resurrection morning,
What a meeting it will be,
Hallelujah! We shall rise!
When our fathers and our mothers,
And our loved ones we shall see,
Hallelujah! We shall rise!
3. On that resurrection morning,
Blessed thought it is to me,
