I'll Be Singing Up There

Representative Text

Refrain:
I'll be singing up, singing up there,
I'll be singing, singing up there.
Oh, come on up to bright glory,
I'll be singing up there.

1 If you miss me singing down here,
If you miss me singing down here,
Oh, come on up to bright glory,
You'll find me singing up there. [Refrain]

2 If you miss me praying down here,
If you miss me praying down here,
Oh, come on up to bright glory,
You'll find me praying up there. [Refrain]

3 If you miss me walking down here,
If you miss me walking down here,
Oh, come on up to bright glory,
You'll find me walking up there. [Refrain]

4 If you miss me shouting down here,
If you miss me shouting down here,
Oh, come on up to bright glory,
You'll find me shouting up there. [Refrain]

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
