Lead on, O King eternal,The day of march has come;Henceforth in fields of conquestThy tents shall be our home.Through days of preparationThy grace has made us strong;And now, O King eternal,We lift our battle song.Lead on, O King eternal,Till sin s fierce war shall cease,And holiness shall whisperThe sweet amen of peace.For not with swords loud clashing,Nor roll of stirring drums;With deeds of love and mercyThe heavenly kingdom comes.Lead on, O King eternal,We follow, not with fears,For gladness breaks like morningWhere 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.
