Summoned Home, The Call Has Sounded,
Bidding A Soldier His Warfare Cease;
And The Song Of Angels Resounded,
Welcomes A Warrior To Eternal Peace.
Praise The Lord! From Earthly Struggles
A Comrade Has Found Release.
Death Has Lost Its Sting, The Grave Its Victory;
Conflicts And Dangers Are Over;
See Him Honoured In The Throne Of Glory,
Crowned By The Hand Of Jehovah!
Strife And Sorrow Over,
The Lord’s True Faithful Soldier
Has Been Called To Go From The Ranks Below,
To The Conquering Host Above.
Once The Sword, But Now The Sceptre,
Once The Fight, Now The Rest And Fame,
Broken Every Earthly Fetter,
Now The Glory For The Cross And Shame;
Once The Loss Of All For Jesus,
But Now The Eternal Gain.
Trials And Sorrow Here Have Found Their Meaning
Mysteries Their Explanation;
Safe, Forever In The Sunlight Gleaming
Of His Eternal Salvation.
