Author: Ernest W. Shurtleff Hymnal: The New Church Hymnal #204 (1976) Lyrics: 1 Lead on, O King Eternal,The day of march has come;Henceforth in fields of conquestYour tents will be our home,Through days of preparationYour 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 whisperThe sweet Amen of peace;For not with swords' loud clashing,Nor roll of stirring drums,With deeds of love and mercyThe heav'nly kingdom comes.3 Lead on, O King Eternal,We follow, not with fears;For gladness breaks like morningWhere'er Your face appears;Your cross is lifted o'er us;We journey in its light:The crown awaits the conquest;Lead on, O God of might.Amen.
