Then Moses stood in the
gate of the camp, and said,
Who is on the LORD'S side?
let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi
gathered themselves together unto him.
Every believer is ready to answer, I am.
Well, the Lord has a cause upon the earth; it
is weak and want your support; it is opposed, and needs your countenance.
If you are on the Lord's side, you are on the
side of truth- holiness- charity- of His worship and ordinances- of His people
and His ways- and you are jealous of His honor.
You unite with His people, go forth to Jesus
without the camp, bearing His reproach.
If you are on the Lord side, He will spare
you as obedient children; supply you as faithful servants; protect you as a
loyal subjects; and honour you as brave and courageous soldiers.
You will never see any just occasion to
change sides; or regret that you decided to serve so good a Master.
You will find the Lord to be on your side,
supporting you in afflictions; comforting you in trouble; giving you victory in
death; and pronouncing you just in the judgment.
If you are on the Lord side, avow it openly;
prove it daily; and let your whole conduct say, “I am the Lord’s.”
Use all your influence for His glory, consecrate
all your energies to His cause, and rejoice to suffer for His name.
There shall your eyes with rapture view
The glorious Friend who died for you;
That died to ransom, died to raise
To crowns of joy, and songs of praise;
Jesus, to Thee I breathe my prayer!
Reveal, confirm my interest there.
James Smith
