619- Lead On, O King Eternal

Christian Life: Christian Warfare

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.
