Promoted to Glory
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,
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.
Refrain
