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 honored in the throne of glory, Crowned by the hand of Jehovah! Refrain Strife and sorrow over, The Lord’s true faithful soldier Has been called to go from the ranks below, To the conq’ring host above. Once the sword, but now the scepter, Once the fight, now the rest and fame, Broken every earthly fetter, Refrain
