The Old Story in Song Number Two ‎#68

68. Standing in the Forefront

1 Standing in the forefront ready for each foe,
Waving love’s bright banner everywhere we go;
Clad in gospel armor, bearing heaven’s sword.
Always true and loyal to our blessed Lord.

Refrain:
Standing in the forefront, when the fight is on,
Where the foe is strongest vict’ry shall be won,
Fighting ‘gainst all evil, and with one accord,
Standing in the forefront with our Lord.

2 Standing in the forefront busy every day,
From the call of duty ne’er to turn away,
We are sure that Christ our Lord will see us thro’,
If our hearts are loyal, if we’re brave and true. [Refrain]

3 Standing in the forefront in the fighting line,
“Conq’ring and to conquer” by the pow’r divine,
Knowing only Jesus, turning from all sin;
Tho’ an host assail us we are sure to win. [Refrain]
