Album: ONWARD AND UPWARD | Song lyrics to: LEAD ON, O KING ETERNAL
"LEAD ON, O KING ETERNAL"
Verse One:
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.
Verse Two:
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.
Verse Three:
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.
