Lead On, O King Eternal Words by Ernest W. Shurtleff Music by Henry T. Smart Words and Music public domain 659
Lead on, O King EternalThe day of march has comeHenceforth in fields of conquestThy tents shall be our home
Thro’ days of preparationThy grace has made us strongAnd now, O King EternalWe lift our battle song
Lead on, O King EternalTill sin’s fierce war shall ceaseAnd holiness shall whisperThe sweet amen of peace
For not with swords’ loud clashingOr roll of stirring drumsWith deeds of love and mercyThe heav’nly kingdom comes
Lead on, O King EternalWe follow not with fearsFor gladness breaks like morningWhere’er Thy face appears
Thy cross is lifted o’er usWe journey in its lightThe crown awaits the conquestLead on, O God of might
