Verse 1
Who is on the Lord’s side? (Ex. 32:26, Matt. 12:30)
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? (Eph. 6:12)
Who is on the Lord’s side?
Who for Him will go? (Isa. 6:8)
By Thy call of mer­cy,
By Thy grace di­vine,
We are on the Lord’s side— (Ex. 32:26)
Savior, we are Thine. (Isa. 43:1, I Cor. 6:19-20)

Verse 2
Not for weight of glo­ry, (II Cor. 4:17)
Not for crown and palm, (I Cor. 9:25, Rev. 7:9)
Enter we the ar­my, (Eph. 6:10-17, II Tim. 2:3-4, I Tim. 1:18)
Raise the war­rior psalm;
But for love that claim­eth
Lives for whom He died: (II Cor. 5:14-15)
He whom Je­sus nam­eth
Must be on His side.
By Thy love con­strain­ing, (II Cor. 5:14)
By Thy grace di­vine,
We are on the Lord’s side— (Ex. 32:26)
Savior, we are Thine.

Verse 3
Jesus, Thou hast bought us, (I Cor. 6:19-20)
Not with gold or gem,
But with Thine own life blood, (I Pet. 1:18-19, Rev. 5:9, I Cor. 6:20, Acts 20:28)
For Thy dia­dem; (Isa. 62:3)
With Thy bless­ing fill­ing
Each who comes to Thee,
Thou hast made us will­ing, (Ps. 110:3)
Thou hast made us free. (John 8:36, Rom. 6:22, Gal. 5:1)
By Thy grand re­demp­tion, (Eph. 1:7, Col. 1:14)
By Thy grace di­vine,
We are on the Lord’s side— (Ex. 32:26)
Savior, we are Thine.

Verse 4
Fierce may be the con­flict,
Strong may be the foe, (Eph. 6:11-12, I Pet. 5:8-9)
But the King’s own ar­my
None can ov­er­throw. (Matt. 16:18, Rom. 8:37)
’Round His stand­ard rang­ing,
Victory is se­cure, (I Cor. 15:57)
For His truth un­chang­ing (Isa. 40:8)
Makes the tri­umph sure. (II Cor. 2:14)
Joyfully en­list­ing, (II Tim. 2:3-4)
By Thy grace di­vine,
We are on the Lord’s side— (Ex. 32:26)
Savior, we are Thine.

Verse 5
Chosen to be sol­diers, (II Tim. 2:3-4)
In an ali­en land, (Heb. 11:13, I Pet. 2:11)
Chosen, called, and faith­ful, (Rev. 17:14)
For our cap­tain’s band; (Heb. 2:10)
In the serv­ice roy­al, (I Pet. 2:9)
Let us not grow cold; (Matt. 24:12-13)
Let us be right loy­al,
Noble, true, and bold.
Master, Thou wilt keep us, (John 17:11-12, I Pet. 1:5, Jude 1:24)
By Thy grace di­vine,
Always on the Lord’s side— (Ex. 32:26)
Savior, al­ways Thine. (I Cor. 6:19-20, Rom. 14:8)
