SS&S Hymn #792: Who is on the Lord's

Complete lyrics, stanzas, and pipe organ accompaniment • Sacred Songs & Solos

1

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?
Who is on the Lord’s side? who will serve the King?

2

Who will be His helpers, other fives to bring?
By Thy grand redemption, by Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord’s side; Saviour, we are Thine!

3

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!

4

Jesus, Thou hast bought us, not with gold or gem,
But with Thine own life-blood, for Thy diadem;
With Thy blessing filling all who come to Thee,
Thou hast made us willing, Thou hast made us free.

5

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.
