1 O brother you’ll be called on
To leave the field of battle,
When the warfare is ended by and by,
When the warfare is ended
We’ll lay our armor down,
When this warfare is ended
Soldiers of the cross.

Chorus:
Heaven on earth has just begun
Open to each believer,
Only believe and then pray on
Heaven is yours forever.

2 O sisters you’ll be called on
To leave the field of battle,
When the warfare is ended by and by,
When the warfare is ended
We’ll lay our armor down,
When this warfare is ended
Soldiers of the cross. [Chorus]

3 O fathers you’ll be called on
To leave the field of battle,
When the warfare is ended by and by,
When the warfare is ended
We’ll lay our armor down,
When this warfare is ended
Soldiers of the cross. [Chorus]

4 O mothers you’ll be called on
To leave the field of battle,
When the warfare is ended by and by,
When the warfare is ended
We’ll lay our armor down,
When this warfare is ended
Soldiers of the cross. [Chorus]

5 O preachers you’ll be called on
To leave the field of battle,
When the warfare is ended by and by,
When the warfare is ended
We’ll lay our armor down,
When this warfare is ended
Soldiers of the cross. [Chorus]
