Lead On O King Eternal lyrics

Lead on, O King eternal, 
the day of march has come; 
henceforth in fields of conquest 
Your tents shall be our home. 
Through days of preparation 
Your 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 clashing, 
nor roll of stirring drums; 
with deeds of love and mercy 
the heavenly kingdom comes. 

Lead on, O King eternal, 
we follow, without fear, 
for gladness breaks like morning
where'er your face appears. 
The cross is lifted over us, 
we journey in its light; 
the crown awaits the conquest; 
lead on, O God of might.
