Where Shall I Be by Norfolk Jubilee Quartet Lyrics

[Chorus]
Where shall I be when the first trumpet sounds?
Where shall I be when it sounds so loud?
Sounds so loud it's gonna wake up the dead
Where shall I be when it sounds?

[Verse 1]
What's that yonder, looks so black?
(Where shall I be?)
It must be the children turning back
(Where shall I be?)

[Chorus]
Where shall I be when the first trumpet sounds?
Where shall I be when it sounds so loud?
Sounds so loud it's gonna wake up the dead
Where shall I be when it sounds?

[Verse 2]
Mind, my sister, how you walk on the cross
(Where shall I be?)
Your feet might slip and your soul'll be lost
(Where shall I be?)
[Chorus]
Where shall I be when the first trumpet sounds?
Where shall I be when it sounds so loud?
Sounds so loud it's gonna wake up the dead
Where shall I be when it sounds?

[Verse 3]
God gave Noah a rainbow sign
(Where shall I be?)
Won't destroy by water, be fire next time
(Where shall I be?)

[Chorus]
Where shall I be when the first trumpet sounds?
Where shall I be when it sounds so loud?
Sounds so loud it's gonna wake up the dead
Where shall I be when it sounds?

[Verse 4]
(What did you do when the trumpets sound?)
Lord, I went to the rock to hide my face
(Where shall I be?)
Lord, the rock cried out "No hiding place"
(Where shall I be?)

[Chorus]
Where shall I be when the first trumpet sounds?
Where shall I be when it sounds so loud?
Sounds so loud it's gonna wake up the dead
Where shall I be when it sounds?
