When King Jesus calls His children homeWhen they plant me like a seed in the groundIn silent sleep beneath some mossy moundI'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 downWhen I hear, I hear that trumpet soundI know, I've been a dyin' since the day that I was bornBut now I'm living for that resurrection morn'When King Jesus calls His children homeWhen King Jesus calls His children homeI'm gonna wear my snow white gownI'm gonna put on a starry crownWhen King Jesus calls His children homeLike a bird in a cage that's been set freeMy soul will sing throughout eternityI'll shed this mortal shell, let ol' Satan stay in HellI'll see glory that no human tongue can tellWhen King Jesus calls His children homeWhen King Jesus calls His children homeI'm gonna wear my snow white gownI'm gonna put on a starry crownWhen King Jesus calls His children home, oh yeahYe know not the hour, ye know not the daySo, be humble, my children, hide and watch and prayWhen King Jesus calls His children homeWhen King Jesus calls His children homeWhen King Jesus calls His children homeI'm gonna wear my snow white gownI'm gonna put on a starry crownWhen King Jesus calls His children homeWhen King Jesus calls His children homeWhen King Jesus calls His children homeI'm gonna wear my snow white gownI'm gonna put on a starry crownWhen King Jesus calls His children homeWhen King Jesus calls His children homeWhen King Jesus calls His children homeI'm gonna wear my snow white gownI'm gonna put on a starry crownWhen King Jesus calls His children homeWhen King Jesus calls His children homeWhen King Jesus calls His children homeI'm gonna wear my snow white gownI'm gonna put on a starry crownWhen King Jesus calls His children home
