1.	Lead on, O King Eternal, 
	The day of march has come; 
	Henceforth in fields of conquest 
	Thy tents shall be our home: 
	Thro' 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, 
	Or roll of stirring drums; 
	With deeds of love and mercy 
	The heav'nly 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.
