204. "'Tis Dividing the World"

1 ‘Tis dividing the world,
Oh! my friend, it is true,
The dear cross of Jesus,
On which side are you?
Are you scoffing his grace,
Like the thief at his side?
Or seeking the mercy of Christ crucified?
‘Tis dividing the world,
Look abroad and behold,
The armies of satan, defiant and bold,
With the weapons of sin, they unitedly stand,
Obeying the captain of sins dark command,
Obeying the captain of sins dark command,
On which side, on which side,
On which side are you?
Arrayed with God’s enemies, or friends tried and true?

2 ‘Tis dividing the word,
Look again you shall see,
Tho’ prince of salvation,
Oh yes, it is he,
‘Tis the Savior of men,
Who arose from the dead,
Now glory and honor, encircle his head;
‘Tis dividing the world,
But his promises are,
A crowd and a robe for the faithful to wear,
And the song of the victor at last he shall sing,
Who battles for Jesus, our Savior and King,
On which side, on which side,
On which side are you?
Arrayed with God’s enemies, or friends tried and true?
