Who is on the Lord’s side

lyricist: Frances Ridley Havergal
Composer: German melody

Who is on the Lord’s side?

Who will serve the King?

Who will be His helpers

Other lives to bring?

Who will leave the world’s side?

Who will face the foe?

Who is on the Lord’s side?

Who for Him will go?

By Thy grand redemption

By Thy grace divine

We are on the Lord’s side;

Savior

we are Thine.

Not for weight of glory

Not for crown and palm

Enter we the army

Raise the warrior psalm;

But for love that claimeth

Lives for whom He died;

He whom Jesus nameth

Must be on His side.

Jesus

Thou hast bought us

Not with gold or gem

But with Thine own life-blood

For Thy diadem;

With Thy blessing filling

Each who comes to Thee

Thou hast made us willing

Thou hast made us free.

Fierce may be the conflict

Strong may be the foe

But the King’s own army

None can overthrow.

Round His standard ranging

Victory is secure

For His truth unchanging

Makes the triumph sure.

Chosen to be soldiers

In an alien land:

Chosen

called

and faithful

For our Captain’s band;

In the service royal

Let us not grow cold;

Let us be right loyal

Noble

true

and bold.
