When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder : ウィキペディア英語版 | When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder is an 1893 hymn with words and music by James Milton Black. The song was inspired by the idea of The Book of Life mentioned in the Bible, and by the absence of a child in Black's Sunday school class when the attendance was taken.〔Kathleen Blanchard. "Romance of our hymns" (column), ''Winnipeg Free Press'', September 4, 1943, page 17.〕 The idea of someone's being not in attendance in heaven haunted Black, and after visiting the child's home and calling on a doctor to attend her for pneumonia, he went home and wrote the song after not finding one on a similar topic in his hymn collection.〔Dan Graves. ("James Milton Black wanted his name on God's roll," ) Christian History Timeline. Retrieved 2012-02-27.〕 The song's lyrics were first published in a collection titled ''Songs of the Soul'' and the song has since been translated into at least 14 languages and sung all over the world in a variety of Christian denominations.〔H.W. Strawbridge. "Author of well known religious hymn has many ties to district," ''Titusville Herald'' (Titusville, PA), April 11, 1961, page 8.〕 In 1945, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill created a stir in the British press when he quoted the hymn in response to a question about when the Big Three were going to meet; stated the ''Winnipeg Free Press'': "Mr. Churchill, in one of his somewhat puckish moods, replied that he did not know, but, he added irreverently, 'When the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there.'" The British press expressed surprise at Churchill, an Anglican, being familiar with a hymn more associated with Methodism, Presbyterianism, and other "chapel" denominations or the revival meetings of Dwight L. Moody and Ira D. Sankey or R. A. Torrey and Charles McCallon Alexander, whereas the ''Free Press'' speculated that Churchill might well have heard the "catchy" tune in the street meetings held by the Salvation Army.〔(No author.)
