Lead On, O King Eternal

  Wake up Church, through these ever-darkening days trusting in our King eternal through the greater hysterical days that are ahead...

1. Lead on, O King eternal:

the day of march has come;

henceforth in fields of battle

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 drum,

but deeds of love and mercy,

thy reign of peace shall come.

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.
