14437. Orders From The King

1 We have orders from the King,
And His word we must obey;
Every soldier true, must his duty do
In His service every day.

Refrain:
For we have orders from the King,
To the fight He bids us go;
The world to Him we now must bring,
We have orders from the King;
For we have orders from the King,
To the fight He bids us go;
Each soul be ready, march firm and steady,
The King is calling us today.

2 We have orders from the King,
And the fight for truth is on;
With our sword in hand, for the right we’ll stand
Till the day for God is won. [Refrain]

3 We have orders from the King,
We will never turn aside;
We will fear no foe, we are safe, we know,
While with Jesus we abide. [Refrain]
