When that give up
calls from heaven,
Will you be ready to stand
that last retreat?
And the battle is all over,
will you be ready,
your loved ones, to meet?
When that final blow is called up yonder,
and the cares of this life are no more,
Will you be in that great army,
that land on that bright and
peaceful shore?
When the master up in heaven
looks down from above
and says that's all,
Can you stand that last inspection?
Can you answer that final bugle call?
Dear Lord and Savior, up in glory
Please have mercy on this
sinful soul of mine
And when that bugle calls from heaven,
let me be ready to fall into line.
Hear that call, hear that call,
seems to me that I can hear
that trumpet blow,
Callin' all of our Savior's soldiers
To end all this earthly strife we know
When the Master up in Heaven
Looks down from above and says,
that's all
Can you stand that last inspection?
Can you answer that final bugle call?
