In 1893, James Black was a Methodist Sunday school teacher in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. As he was calling roll one day for a youth meeting, young Bessie, daughter of a drunkard, did not show up, and he was disappointed at her failure to appear. He commented to a friend, \u201cWell, I trust when the roll is called up yonder, she\u2019ll be there.\u201d He tried to find an appropriate song for the situation but could not find one in his song book.<\/p>\n

Here is how Mr. Black describes how he came to write the hymn:\u00a0\u201cThis lack of a fitting song caused me both sorrow and disappointment. An inner voice seemed to say, \u2018Why don\u2019t you write one?\u2019 I put away the thought. As I opened the gate on my way home, the same thought came again so strongly that tears filled my eyes. I entered the house and sat down at the piano. The words came to me effortlessly\u2026The tune came the same way\u2014I dared not change a single note or word.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

(1)\u00a0When 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\u2019ll be there.<\/em><\/p>\n

Refrain:\u00a0When the roll, is called up yonder, When the roll, is called up yonder, When the roll, is called up yonder, When the roll is called up yonder I\u2019ll be there.<\/em><\/p>\n

(2)\u00a0On 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\u2019ll be there.<\/em><\/p>\n

Refrain:\u00a0When the roll, is called up yonder, When the roll, is called up yonder, When the roll, is called up yonder, When the roll is called up yonder I\u2019ll be there.<\/em><\/p>\n

(3)\u00a0Let 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\u2019ll be there.<\/em><\/p>\n

Refrain:\u00a0When the roll, is called up yonder, When the roll, is called up yonder, When the roll, is called up yonder, When the roll is called up yonder I\u2019ll be there.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
