A promotion on to Glory

the trumpet sounding
the long-awaited call home;
on to Glory, to His final rest,
in the service of our Lord

serving in the field of battle
in the vineyards, the forests;
marching in this wilderness
carrying God’s battle flag

ever faithful to the calling
to the teachings of our God;
honoring his commitment
to the commands of our Lord

a promotion in the field
given a new assignment;
promoted as a servant,
now marching on to Glory,
in the service of our Lord
