Who Is on the Lord's Side?

Author: Frances R. Havergal Meter: 6.5.6.5.6.5 D Appears in 463 hymnals Topics: Ministry Ordinations Lyrics: 1 Who is on the Lord's side? Who will serve the King? Who will be his helpers, other lives to bring? Who will leave the world's side? Who will face the foe? Who is on the Lord's side? Who for him will go? By thy call of mercy, by thy grace divine, we are on the Lord's side, Savior, 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, Savior, we are thine. 3 Jesus, thou has bought us, not with gold or gem, but with thine own life-blood for thy diadem: with thy blessing filling each who comes to thee, thou hast made us willing, thou has made us free. By thy grand redemption, by thy grace divine, We are on the Lord's side, Savior, we are thine. 4 Fierce may be the conflict, strong may be the foe, but the King's own army none can overthrow: round his standard ranging, vict'ry is secure; for his truth unchanging makes the triumph sure. Joyfully enlisting by thy grace divine, we are on the Lord's side, Savior, we are thine. Scripture: Exodus 32:26 Used With Tune: RACHIE

Monsell Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 120 hymnals Topics: Ordinations; Processionals Ordinations Lyrics: 1 Lord of the living harvest That whitens o'er the plain, Where angels soon shall gather Their sheaves of golden grain; Accept these hands to labor, These hearts to trust and love, And deign with them to hasten Thy kingdom from above. 2 As laborers in Thy vineyard Still faithful may they be, Content to bear the burden Of weary days for Thee; To ask no other wages, When Thou shalt call them home, But to have shared the travail Which makes Thy kingdom come. 3 Come down, Thou Holy Spirit, And fill their souls with light; Clothe them in spotless raiment, In vesture clean and white; Within Thy sacred temple Be with them where they stand, To guide and teach Thy people Throughout our native land. 4 Be with them, God the Father! Be with them, God the Son! And God the Holy Spirit! Most blessèd Three in One! Make them a holy priesthood, Thee humbly to adore, And fill them with Thy fullness, Both now and evermore! Amen.

Truly blessed is this station, Low before his cross to lie, While we see divine compassion, Beaming in his gracious eye. 2 Love and grief our hearts dividing, With our tears his feet we bathe; Constant still, in faith abiding, Life deriving from his death. For thy sorrows we adore thee, For the pains that wrought our peace, Gracious Saviour! we implore thee In our souls thy love increase. 3 Here we feel our sins forgiven, While upon the Lamb we gaze, And our thoughts are all of heaven, And our lips o'erflow with praise. Still in ceaseless contemplation, Fix our hearts and eyes on thee, Till we taste thy full salvation, And, unvailed, thy glories see. Used With Tune: ARMSTRONG

I must remember thee:-- 5 Remember thee, and all thy pains And all thy love to me; Yea, while a breath, a pulse remains, Will I remember thee. 6 And when these failing lips grow dumb, And mind and memory flee, When thou shalt in thy kingdom come, Then, Lord, remember me!
