Bugle calls are ringing out,
Verse 1
Bugle calls are ringing out, " Forward" is the battle shout, See where floats the conqu'ring sign, Onward the war divine!
Chorus
And when the battle's over We shall wear a crown, We shall wear a crown, We shall wear a crown! And when the battle's over We shall wear a crown In the New Jerusalem! Wear a crown, wear a crown, Away over Jordan! And when the battle's over We shall wear a crown In the New Jerusalem!
Verse 2
Sound the charge against the foe, Lay the hosts of error low; In His name, victorious King, Let the song of triumph ring!
Chorus
And when the battle's over We shall wear a crown, We shall wear a crown, We shall wear a crown! And when the battle's over We shall wear a crown In the New Jerusalem! Wear a crown, wear a crown, Away over Jordan! And when the battle's over We shall wear a crown In the New Jerusalem!
Verse 3
Fight the fight of faith and love, Looking unto Him above; Loyal soldiers, do and dare, Your Commander's joy to share.

And when the battle's over We shall wear a crown, We shall wear a crown, We shall wear a crown! And when the battle's over We shall wear a crown In the New Jerusalem! Wear a crown, wear a crown, Away over Jordan! And when the battle's over We shall wear a crown In the New Jerusalem!
