Keep on the Firing Line
Author: Howard Haney Hymnal: 50 Favorites #26 (2013) First Line: If you're in the battle for the Lord and right Refrain First Line: Oh, you must fight, be brave against all evil Lyrics: 1. If you’re in the battle for the Lord and right,
Keep on the firing line;
If you win, my brother, surely you must fight,
Keep on the firing line.
There are many dangers that we all must face,
If we die still fighting it is no disgrace;
Cowards in the service will not find a place,
So keep on the firing line.
Refrain:
Oh, you must fight, be brave against all evil,
Never run, nor even lag behind;
If you would win for God and the right,
Just keep on the firing line.
2. God will only use the soldier He can trust,
Keep on the firing line;
If you’ll wear a crown then bear the cross you must,
Keep on the firing line.
Life is but to labor for the Master dear,
Help to banish evil and to spread good cheer;
Great you’ll be rewarded for your service here,
So keep on the firing line.
3. When we get to heaven, brother, we’ll be glad,
Keep on the firing line;
How we’ll praise the Savior for the call we had,
Keep on the firing line.
When we see the souls that we have helped to win,
Leading them to Jesus, from the paths of sin,
With a shout of welcome, we will all march in,
So keep on the firing line. Languages: English Tune Title: [If you’re in the battle for the Lord and right]

Keep on the firing line;
If you’d surely win, my brother, you must fight,
And keep on the firing line;
There are many dangers everyone must face,
If you die a-fighting that is no disgrace;
With the Lord for cowards you will find no place,
So keep on the firing line.
Refrain:
Then fight brave against all evil,
Never run or even lag behind;
If you would win for God and right,
Keep on the firing line.
2 God will only use the soldiers He can trust,
To keep on the firing line;
If you’d wear a crown then bear a cross you must,
And keep on the firing line;
Life is ours to labor for the Master here,
Help to banish evil and to spread good cheer;
Great reward He gives you for the service here,
So keep on the firing line. [Refrain]
3 When you get to glory, brother, you’ll be glad
God had the firing line;
How you’ll praise the Master for the call you had,
To get on the firing line;
When you see the precious souls you helped to win,
Leading them to Jesus from the paths of sin,
Hear the shout of welcome when we all march in,
Who served on the firing line. [Refrain]

Person Name: Unknown Author of "Keep on the Firing Line" in Old Time Revival In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
