Kartthrukaahalam yugaanthya കർത്തൃകാഹളം യുഗാന്ത്യ Song No 394

 1 കർത്തൃകാഹളം യുഗാന്ത്യ

കാലത്തിൽ ധ്യാനിക്കുമ്പോൾ

നിത്യമാം പ്രഭാതശോഭിതത്തിൻ നാൾ

പാർത്തലേ രക്ഷപെട്ടോരക്കരെക്കൂടി ആകാശേ

പേർ വിളിക്കും നേരം കാണുമെൻ പേരും

പേർ വിളിക്കും നേരം കാണും (3)

പേർ വിളിക്കും നേരം കാണുമെൻ പേരും

 

2 ക്രിസ്തനിൽ നിദ്രകൊണ്ടോരീ

 ശോഭിത പ്രഭാതത്തിൽ

ക്രിസ്തൻ ശോഭ ധരിപ്പാനുയിർത്തു തൻ

ഭക്തർ ഭവനേ ആകാശമപ്പുറം കൂടിടുമ്പോൾ

പേർ വിളിക്കും നേരം കാണുമെൻ പേരും;-

3 കർത്തൻ പേർക്കു രാപ്പകൽ 

അദ്ധ്വാനം ഞാൻ ചെയ്തിങ്ങനെ

വാർത്ത ഞാൻ ചൊല്ലിടട്ടെ തൻ സ്നേഹത്തിൻ

പാർത്തലത്തിൽ എന്റെ 

വേല തീർത്തു ജീവിതാന്ത്യത്തിൽ

പേർ വിളിക്കും നേരം കാണുമെൻ പേരും;-

English Lyrics 

When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound,

And time shall be no more,

And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair;

When the saved of earth shall gather over on the other shore,

And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there

When the roll, is called up yonder, (3)

When the roll is called up yonder I’ll be there

On that bright and cloudless morning–

when the dead in Christ shall rise,

And the glory of His resurrection share;

When His chosen ones shall gather to-

their home beyond the skies,

And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there

Let us labor for the Master from the dawn till setting sun,

Let us talk of all His wondrous love and care;

Then when all of life is over, and our work on earth is done,

And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there

The Story Behind…

“When the Roll is Called Up Yonder”

The president of a certain Young People’s Society once chanced to meet a girl of fourteen, poorly dressed and a drunkard’s daughter, whom he invited to join the Society and to attend Sunday School. She did this and attended for a time, but one evening at a dedication meeting, when the Society’s roll of members was called, and each member responded with a text, there was no response from this girl.

Remarking on her absence, the president, Mr. J. M. Black, spoke of the sadness of anyone being absent when the names were called of those written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, and then added the prayer, “O God, when my own name is called up yonder, may I be there to respond!”

Wanting something suitable to sing on this occasion, Mr. Black searched the hymn book but could find nothing, and after the meeting was ended, on his way home he still kept wishing for such a hymn.

On reaching home the words of the first stanza of a new hymn came to his mind in full.

Within fifteen minutes the two following verses were also written down, and then Mr. Black turned to the piano. “I played the music,” he said, “just as it is found today in the hymn books, note for note, and I have never dared to change a single word or note of the song.”
