Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

Hymn: "Who is on the Lord's Side?"
Goss/Reichardt/Havergal
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 ofMercy, by Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord's side, Savior, we are Thine.
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.
Jesus, Thou hast bought us, not with gold or gem,
But with Thine own lifeblood, for Thy diadem.
With Thy blessing filling each who come 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.
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.
