Hymn 374 - Lead On, O King Eternal

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 out 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 heav’nly kingdom comes.

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.
