Mansions of the Lord

I've been trying to determine the source of this song, whether it is original to the movie "We Were Soldiers" or if it has a historical source. Anyone recognize it?

Mansions of the Lord:

To fallen soldiers let us sing
Where no rockets fly nor bullets wing
Our broken brothers let us bring
To the Mansions of the Lord

No more bleeding, no more fight
No prayers pleading through the night
Just divine embrace, eternal light
In the Mansions of the Lord

Where no mothers cry and no children weep
We will stand and guard though the angels sleep
While through the ages safely keep
The Mansions of the Lord

The hymn is original. I heard Randall Wallace on on the Laura Ingrahm Show last week. He claimed that he and the film's composer sat down and wrote it in 15 minutes.
