The Trumpet Will Sound in the Morning

1. Oh, we must be ready by night,
    For the trumpet will sound in the morning,
We must work while the day is called light,
    For the trumpet will sound in the morning.

Refrain
Oh, the glory is in sight,
    Ev’ry hill and vale adorning;
Then press right on with all your might
    For the trumpet will sound in the morning.

2. Be sure that your armor is strong,
    For the trumpet will sound in the morning,
Never mind tho’ the battle be long,
    For the trumpet will sound in the morning.
Refrain

3. Yes, on till we draw the last breath,
    For the trumpet will sound in the morning,
Even sing at the river of death,
    For the trumpet will sound in the morning.
Refrain

This is one of the few songs in this section that did not come from James White’s collection. It was written by George F. Root (1820-1895) in 1877. But we have included it because it seemed to convey the same spirit of earnest expectation and busy preparation which marked the faith of the early Adventists.
