Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace, to help me on to God? 4 Sure I must fight if I would reign: increase my courage, Lord; I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, supported by thy Word. 5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war, shall conquer, though they die; they view the triumph from afar, and seize it with their eye. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, and all thine armies shine in robes of vict'ry through the skies, the glory shall be thine.

By Thy love constraining, By Thy grace divine, We are on the Lord's side, Savior, we are Thine. 3 Jesus, Thou hast 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 hast 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.
