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.

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 o’er us, We journey in its light; The crown awaits the conquest; Lead on, O God of might.
