Who Is on the Lord's Side

Representative Text

1 Who is on the Lord's side,
Who will serve today?
Who will be His helpers,
Walking in his way?
Who will leave the world's side?
Who will dare be strong?
Who is on the Lord's side?
Who to him belong?
Joyfully we answer,
"By thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord's side;
Jesus, we are thine."

2 Jesus made a people
Who will do his will,
Strive to build his Zion
His plan to fulfill.
Who will do the Lord's work,
Who will be his hands?
Who will choose to follow
His divine commands?
Joyfully we answer,
"By thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord's side;
Jesus, we are thine."

3 Who will chose to love him
More than self alone?
Those who choose the Lord's side
By his name are known.
Jesus calls for workers,
Many he can use.
Do you hear him calling,
His work will you choose?
Joyfully we answer,
"By thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord's side;
Jesus, we are thine."

4 We will be his helpers;
We are on his side.
We will tell his story;
Spread it far and wide.
We will choose the right path,
We will work and pray.
Jesus can depend on
Us to walk his way.
Joyfully we answer,
"By thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord's side;
Jesus, we are thine."

Havergal, Frances Ridley, daughter of the Rev. W. H. Havergal, was born at Astley, Worcestershire, Dec. 14, 1836. Five years later her father removed to the Rectory of St. Nicholas, Worcester. In August, 1850, she entered Mrs. Teed's school, whose influence over her was most beneficial. In the following year she says, "I committed my soul to the Saviour, and earth and heaven seemed brighter from that moment." A short sojourn in Germany followed, and on her return she was confirmed in Worcester Cathedral, July 17, 1853. In 1860 she left Worcester on her father resigning the Rectory of St. Nicholas, and resided at different periods in Leamington, and at Caswall Bay, Swansea, broken by visits to Switzerland, Scotland, and North Wales.
