Text:Battling for the Lord
Tune:[We've listed in a holy war]
Composer:T. E. Perkins

63. Battling for the Lord

1 We've listed in a holy war,
Battling for the Lord!
Eternal life, our guiding star,
Battling for the Lord!

Chorus:
We'll work till Jesus comes,
We'll work till Jesus comes,
We'll work till Jesus comes,
And then we'll rest at home.

2 We've girded on our armor bright,
Battling for the Lord!
Our Captain's word our strength and might,
Battling for the Lord! [Chorus]

3 We'll stand like heroes on the field,
Battling for the Lord!
And nobly fight, but never yield,
Battling for the Lord! [Chorus]

4 Though sin and death our way oppose,
Battling for the Lord!
Through grace we'll conquer all our foes,
Battling for the Lord! [Chorus]

5 And when our glorious war is o'er,
Battling for the Lord!
We'll shout salvation evermore,
Battling for the Lord! [Chorus]
