Hymn 597 LEAD ON, O KING Lyrics

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 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
