When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder

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?
