“Lead On, O King Eternal”
 By Ernest W. Shurtleff, 1888

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 our 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 heavenly 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 over us, We journey in its light;
The crown awaits the conquest; Lead on, O God of might.
