I have a vivid reoccuring dream about walking and a church service of some sort and each time on the trail befort the church I heard a song sang in the old style that had a stanza:

"Who will weep, when the trumpet sounds
and who will shout for joy?"

I only catch parts of it as the wind carrys it, and those are the only words I made out. I never sang such a song in all my life and can't say one way or the other if I ever read or heard it someplace but I don't have any distinct recollection of it. If I knew where I picked it up I would go back and get the rest of it.

Any 'catters ever hear of such a song?

Sounds like a pretty song and would be nice to know the rest of it. Thanks much in advance!

Sounds apocalyptic to me, sort of like Blow, ye, the trumpet blow; or Babylon is fallen. I can't think of any specific song that fits the words. Maybe you can get your subconscious to write the rest of it.
