Keep On The Firing Line
American traditional public domain
1. If you're in the Battle for the Lord and right
Keep on the firing line
If you want to win the victory, then surely you must fight
Keep on the firing line
There are many dangers that we all must face
If you die still fighting it is no disgrace
Cowards in the service do not have a place
Keep on the firing line
You must fight, be brave, against all evil
Never run, nor even lag behind
If you would fight for God and stand up for right
Keep on the firing line
2. God will only use a 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 darkness and to spread good cheer
We shall be rewarded for our service here
Keep on the firing line
You must fight, be brave against all evil
Never run, nor even lag behind
If you would fight for God and stand up for right
Keep on the firing line
3. When we get to heaven we shall be so glad
Keep on the firing line
We shall praise the Savior for the calling we had
Keep on the firing line
'Twill be joy to see the many ransomed men
Those who came to Jesus from the paths of sin
Hear the happy welcome as the Saints march in
Keep on the firing line
You must fight, be brave against all evil
Never run, nor even lag behind
If you would fight for God and stand up for right
Keep on the firing line
