Orders From The King

Author: S. M. Austin Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: We have orders from the King Refrain First Line: For we have orders from the King Lyrics: 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] Used With Tune: [We have orders from the King] Text Sources: Hymns of Heavenly Harmony by Peter P. Bilhorn (Chicago: Bilhorn Brothers, 1910)
