Who Is on the Lord's Side

Author: Frances R. Havergal Meter: 6.5.6.5 D with refrain Appears in 456 hymnals Lyrics: 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? 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. By thy grand redemption, by thy grace divine, we are on the Lord’s side, Savior, we are thine. 3 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. Joyfully enlisting by thy grace divine, we are on the Lord’s side, Savior, we are thine.
