This might be a spiritual. Only heard is once on BBN about a month ago. I heard about Noah

I think this might be a spiritual. Includes phrases to the effect I heard about Noah, I heard about Sampson, I heard about Abraham and then a phrase telling about that person. Might be I can tall about -- b/c the final verse is the best thing I can tell is about my salvation (paraphrase).

Your description made me think of the song "Meeting in the Air". While the song doesn' list the three people you listed, it has similar characteristics.

Meeting in the Air

VS1

You have heard of little Moses in the bulrush
You have heard of fearless David and his sling
You have heard the story told of dreaming Joseph
And of Jonah and the whale you often sing
There are many, many others in the Bible
I should like to meet them all I do declare
By and by the Lord will surely let us meet them at that meeting in the air.

CHORUS
There is going to be a meeting in the air in the sweet, sweet by and by I am going to meet you, meet you over there in that home beyond the sky.
Such singin' you will hear never heard by mortal ear
' Twill be glorious I do declare,
And God's own Son will be the leading one at that meeting in the air.

VS2
Many things will there be missin' at that meeting
For the mourners bench will have no place at all
There will never be a sermon preached to sinners for the sinner had refused to heed the call
There will be no mourning over wayward loved ones
There will be no lonely nights of pleading prayer.
All our burdens and our anguish will be lifted at that meeting in the air.
