When the battle is fought

1 When the battle is fought, and the victory won,
Life's trials are ended, and life's duties done.
Then Jesus, our Saviour, will welcome us home,
No more in this desert of sin we shall roam.

Refrain:
Safe, safe at home,
Safe, safe at home,
No more to roam,
No more to roam,
Safe, safe at home.
Safe, safe at home,
No more, no more to roam.

2 The most youthful soldier will then have a share,
In heavenly mansions prepared for us there.
The song of redemption, from infants, shall swell,
As of Jesus, to wondering angels they tell. [Refrain]

3 Though taken from earth in life's earliest morn,
The crown of our Saviour we'll ever adorn,
More bright than the stars will thy ransomed ones shine,
For the radiance, dear Saviour, 's eternally thine. [Refrain]

4 Oh, then will our hearts swell, with rapture supreme,
For Jesus, thy glories will over us beam,
Our minds with the richest of wisdom be stored,
For God will be known and for ever adored, [Refrain]
