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. Thro' days of preparation Thy 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 The heav'nly kingdom 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 o'er us; We journey in its light. The crown awaits the conquest; Lead on, O God of might.
