Another Soldier Gone
Another soldier gone to get a great reward. He fought the figh t and kept the faith, And now gone home to God.
He fought until he fell upon the battlefield, And then he heard his Master say, Lay down your sword and shield.
His soul has gone to God, the earth has clainted its own. And now he's shouting (round the throne,
While we are left to mourn, someday we'll nteet again Our loved ones gone befo re,
sante day we'll reach that happy land, Wh ere parting is no ntore!
