Keep on the Firing Line – V2

If you’re in the battle

For the Lord and right,

Keep on the firing line;

If you win, my brother,

surely you must fight,

Keep on the firing line;

There are many dangers

that we all must face,

If we die still fighting it is no disgrace;

Cowards in the service

will not find a place,

So keep on the firing line.

Oh, you must fight,

be brave against all evil,

Never run, nor even lag behind;

If you would win

for God and the right,

Just keep on the firing line.

God will only use the soldier

He can trust,

Keep on the firing line;

If you’ll wear a crown

then bear the cross you must,

Keep on the firing line.

Life is but to labor for

the Master dear,

Help to banish evil

and to spread good cheer;

Great you’ll be rewarded

for your service here,

So keep on the firing line.

When we get to heaven,

brother, we’ll be glad,

Keep on the firing line;

How we’ll praise the Savior

for the call we had,

Keep on the firing line;

When we see the souls

that we have helped to win,

Leading them to Jesus,

from the paths of sin,

With a shout of welcome,

we will all march in,

So keep on the firing line.
