“KEEP ON THE FIRING LINE” - Written by Otis L. McCoy (Church Hymnal – page 212)
1) “If you’re in the bat-tle for the Lord and right_ , Keep on the fir-ing line__ , * If you win, my broth-er, sure-ly you must fight_ , Keep on the fir-ing line__ ; * There are man-y dan-gers that we all must face_ , If we die a fight-ing it is no dis-grace_ , Cow-ard in the serv-ice, he will find no place, So keep on the fir-ing line__ .
“You must fight, * be brave * a-gainst all evil_ , Nev-er run, nor e-ven lag be-hind__ ; If you would win for God and the right, Just keep on the fir-ing line__ .
2) “God will on-ly use the sol-dier He can trust_ , Keep on the fir-ing line__ , * If you wear a crown, then bear the cross you must_ , Keep on the fir-ing line__ ; * Life is but to la-bor for the Mas-ter dear_ , Help to ban-ish e-vil and to spread good cheer_ , Great you’ll be re-ward-ed for your serv-ice here, So keep on the fir-ing line__ .
3) “When we get to Heav-en, broth-er, we’ll be glad, Keep on the fir-ing line__ , * How we’ll praise the Sav-ior for the call we had_ , Keep on the firing line__ ; * When we see the souls that we have helped to win, Lead-ing them to Je-sus from the paths of sin_ , With a shout of wel-come, we will all march in, So keep on the fir-ing line.”
