By Thy call of mercy, By Thy grace divine, We are on the Lord's side, Saviour, we are Thine. 2 Not for weight of glory, Not for crown and palm, Enter we the army, Raise the warrior psalm; But for Love that claimeth Lives for whom He died: He whom Jesus nameth Must be on His side. By Thy love constraining, By Thy grace divine, We are on the Lord's side, Saviour, 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, Saviour, we are Thine. Amen.
