Who is on the Lord's side
Its often hard to tell
for few are they that serve Him
And fewer serve Him well
Who will run with patience
And singleness of mind
Pressing ever onwards
And leaving self behind
Who among His people
The righteous and the bold
Will make himself by trial of fire
A vessel of pure gold
And who indeed is ready
To labour in the Word
And show the fruit of righteousness
To them that have not heard
The Lord requires a remnant
Whose foreheads He can seal
Fearless in the face of death
To follow Him with zeal
Is anybody ready
To follow His commands
Yes, who is on the Lord's side
Let me see your hands.
