Verse 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. Verse 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. Verse 3 ~ Lead on, O King eternal,      We follow, not with fears, For gladness breaks like morning      Where'er thy face appears. Thy robe is lifted o'er us,      We journey in its light; The crown awaits the conquest;      Lead on, O God of might.
