Lead on, O King eternal
1
Lead on, O King eternal,
the day of march has come;
henceforth in fields of conquest
Thy tents shall be our home.
Through days of preparation
your grace has made us strong;
and now, O King eternal,
we lift our battle song.
2
Lead on, O King eternal,
till sin's fierce war shall cease,
and holiness shall whisper
the sweet amen of peace.
For not with swords' loud clashing
Nor roll of stirring drums
with deeds of love and mercy
We watch till Jesus comes.
3
Lead on, O King eternal;
we follow, not with fears,
for gladness breaks like morning
where'er thy face appears.
Thy cross is lifted over us,
we journey in its light;
the crown awaits the conquest;
Lead on, O God of might.
The crown awaits the conquest;
Lead on, O God of might.
Lead on, we lift our battle song
