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
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 crashing, Or roll of stirring drums;
With deeds of love and mercy the heav’nly kingdom comes.
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.
