The Gospel Awakening ‎#23

23. The Grand Review

1. Christian soldier worn with service,
Ere discharge is granted you,
You must pass Divine inspection
At the final grand review.

Chorus:
Oh, be watchful Christian soldier,
At your post stand firm and true;
Ready for the great inspection,

2. Gird your armor on tho' rusted,
Soon with use 'twill shine anew;
And in Heaven's strength go forward,
Ready for the grand review. [Chorus]

3. If you do each duty bravely,
Then the Lord will honor you;
And your valor He'll remember
At the final grand review. [Chorus]

4. There'll be glory for the heroes,
Who for God shall here be true,
When they're mustered out of service,
And have passed the grand review. [Chorus]
