16489. Come Over On The Other Side

1 Make a for­ward move for the Lord to­day—
Come ov­er on the oth­er side;
’Tis the King’s com­mand: dare you dis­ob­ey?
Come ov­er on the other side.

Refrain:
Show your col­ors, show your col­ors,
Join His ar­my true and tried;
With the hosts of sin you will nev­er win,
Come ov­er on the oth­er side!
Show your col­ors, show your col­ors,
For the King they cru­ci­fied;
Jesus leads the way to eter­nal day;
Come ov­er on the oth­er side.

2 Take your stand for right in the bat­tle’s van—
Come ov­er on the oth­er side;
It will try the steel of the brav­est man—
Come ov­er on the oth­er side. [Refrain]

3 Soon the light will come, soon the dark­ness fade,
Come ov­er on the oth­er side;
They will find no hope who have then de­layed;
Come ov­er on the oth­er side. [Refrain]

4 Make a for­ward move, Je­sus loves you so;
Come ov­er on the oth­er side;
There is joy and peace that your soul should know,
Come over on the other side. [Refrain]
