Ernest W. Shurtleff/Henry Smart
SDA Church Hymnal (1985) Hymn #619
 
 
[Verse 1]
D          G     D
Lead on, O King Eternal,
    G                A
The day of march has come;
D             G         D
Henceforth in fields of conquest
    A           E7     A
Thy tents shall be our home.
        D          G
Through days of preparation
    E7                A
Thy grace has made us strong;
    D            G
And now, O King eternal,
   D        A7     D
We lift our battle song.
 
 
[Verse 2]
D          G     D
Lead on, O King Eternal,
     G                      A
Till sin's fierce war shall cease,
D       G          D
And holiness shall whisper
    A      E7     A
The sweet amen of peace.
    D                    G
For not with swords loud clashing,
    E7               A
Nor roll of stirring drums;
     D                 G
With deeds of love and mercy
    D        A7      D
The heavenly kingdom comes.
 
 
[Verse 3]
D          G     D
Lead on, O King Eternal,
   G                A
We follow, not with fears,
D            G           D
For gladness breaks like morning
      A      E7     A
Where'er thy face appears.
    D               G
Thy cross is lifted o'er us,
   E7             A
We journey in its light;
    D                G
The crown awaits the conquest;
     D     A7     D
Lead on, O God of might.
