619   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
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 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.
