Who Is On The Lord's Side?
lyrics by Frances R. Havergal, 1877
German melody arranged by Sir John Goss,1871

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 word's side?
Who will face the foe?
Who is on the Lord's side?
Who for him will go?
By thy call of mercy,
By thy grace Divine,
We are on the Lord's side,
Saviour we are thine.

Not for the weight of glory,
Not for crown and palm,
Enter we the army,
Raise the warrior psalm;
But for Love that claimith
Lives for whom he died:
He whom Jesus nameth
Must be on his side.
By thy love constraining,
By thy grace Divine,
We are on the Lord's side,
Saviour we are thine.

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,
By thy grace Divine,
We are on the Lord's side,
Saviour we are thine.

Fierce may be the conflict,
Strong may be the foe,
But the King's own army
None can over throw:
Round his standard ranging,
Vict'ry is secure;
For his truth unchanging
Makes the triumph sure.
Joyfully enlisting
By thy grace Divine,
We are on the Lord's side,
Saviour we are thine.
