1 Lead on, O King Eternal,
The day of march has come!
Henceforth in fields of conquest
Thy tents shall be our home:
Thru 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 -
But deeds of love and mercy
The heavenly 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.
