Lead On, O King Eternal
Words by Ernest Shurtleff, 1887. Music & Chorus by Cameron Gray, 2014. ©2014 Rough Harbor Music.

Lead on, O King eternal,
The day of march has come;
Henceforth in fields of conquest
Your tents shall be our home.
Through days of preparation
The weak by grace made strong;
And now, O King eternal,
We lift our battle song.

CHORUS:
Lead on! Lead on, O King eternal
Lead on! Lead on, O King eternal

Lead on, O King eternal,
’Til sin’s fierce war shall cease,
And holiness shall whisper
The sweet Amen of peace.
For not with sword’s loud clashing,
Nor roll of stirring drums;
With deeds of love and mercy
Your heavenly kingdom comes.
(Chorus)

Lead on, O King eternal,
We follow, not with fears,
For gladness breaks like morning
Where’er Your face appears.
Your cross is lifted over us,
We journey in its light;
The crown awaits the conquest;
Lead on, O God of might.
(Chorus)
