#555. Lead On Oh King Eternal
|
||||||
|
1) 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.
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,
But deeds of love and mercy, the heavenly kingdom comes.
3) Lead on, O King eternal: we follow not, 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!
