VERSE 1
When the bugle calls from Heaven
Will you be ready to stand the last retreat
When that battle are all over
Will you be ready, your loved ones to meet
VERSE 2
When that final roll is called up yonder
An' the cares of this life are no more
Will you be in that great army
In that land on the quite, peaceful shore
VERSE 3
When the Master, up in Heaven
Looks down from above an' says, well done,
Can you stand that last inspection
Can you answer that final bugle call?
VERSE 4
Dear Lord an' Saviour up in Heaven
Please have mercy on this sinful soul of mine
When that bugle calls, from Heaven
Let me be ready to fall into line
VERSE 5
Hear that call, hear that call
Seem to me that I can hear that trumpet blow
Calling all our soldiers
To end this earthly strife below
