The Old Story in Song Number Two ‎#102

102. Called by the King

1 Called by the King to bear the royal standard,
Anywhere, every where
Till the world is won;
Telling to all the news of free salvation,
Bringing the lost unto his blessed Son.

Refrain:
Servants of righteousness glory hallelujah!
Fetters are broken now;
Christ has made us free!
Out of the gloom and night, into joy and gladness,
Called by the King are we.

2 Called by the King to meet the foe in battle,
Sword in hand, firm to stand
Always for the right;
Putting aside the works of sin and darkness,
Clothed for the day in the armor of light. [Refrain]

3 Called by the King to be a holy vessel,
By his grace, in our place,
Bearing his sweet word;
Meet for his use and filled with his own Spirit,
Living our life for the glory of God. [Refrain]
