After skipping the past several Sundays, I was guilted enough to attend mass today. A guest priest was filling in. He gave his homily (Something about the bombings and how the rest of us are, on a lesser level, also hurtful to those around us. We shouldn't do that). Then, and I never saw this before, he mentioned that he passed out lyrics to a hymn, then sang a rousing essentially solo of "
When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder". The man had a terrific singing voice.
I'd never heard this song before, but it really stuck with me today, and I found a recording through the Library of Congress's
National Jukebox.
Will you be there?
