192. Which Side?

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?

Chorus:
By Thy call of mercy,
By Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord's side,
Savior, we are Thine.
By Thy call of mercy,
By Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord's side,
Savior, we are Thine.

2 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. [Chorus]

3 Fierce must be the conflict,
Strong may be the foe,
But the King's own army
None may overthrow;
Round His standard ranging
Vict'ry is secure,
For His truth unchanging
Makes the triumph sure. [Chorus]

4 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. [Chorus]
