Author: Mrs. C. H. M. Hymnal: The Best of All #S4 (1910) First Line: To the front away, in the gospel war Refrain First Line: We are out today on the firing line Lyrics: 1 To the front away, in the gospel war,
With the cross of Christ going on before;
‘Mid the fire and smoke, and the cannon’s roar,
We’ll shoulder to shoulder stand.
Refrain:
We are out today on the firing line,
For the truth and right we will boldly fight;
We are out today on the firing line,
A victorious, loyal band;
See our banners wave, hear the bugles blow,
Sounding out o’er sea and land;
In unbroken line on to vict’ry go,
And shoulder to shoulder stand.
2 Down the battle line pass the word along,
Let your faith be firm and your courage strong;
Tho’ the foe be fierce and the fight be long,
We’ll shoulder to shoulder stand. [Refrain]
3 Out and out for God and for holiness,
We will keep in rank and the battle press;
With the gospel armor of righteousness
We’ll shoulder to shoulder stand. [Refrain]
4 Till in ev’ry land is our flag unfurled,
Till the enemy from his throne is hurled;
Preaching full salvation to all the world,
We’ll shoulder to shoulder stand. [Refrain] Tune Title: [To the front away, in the gospel war]
