[Verse 1]
DLead on, O GKing EDternal,
The Gday of march has Acome;
DHenceforth in Gfields of Dconquest
Thy Atents shall E7be our Ahome.
Through Ddays of preGparation
Thy E7grace has made us Astrong;
And Dnow, O King eGternal,
We Dlift our A7battle Dsong.
[Verse 2]
DLead on, O GKing EDternal,
Till Gsin's fierce war shall Acease,
DAnd holiGness shall Dwhisper
The Asweet aE7men of Apeace.
For Dnot with swords loud Gclashing,
Nor E7roll of stirring Adrums;
With Ddeeds of love and Gmercy
The Dheavenly A7kingdom Dcomes.
[Verse 3]
DLead on, O GKing EDternal,
We Gfollow, not with Afears,
DFor gladness Gbreaks like Dmorning
Where'Aer thy E7face apApears.
Thy Dcross is lifted Go'er us,
We E7journey in its Alight;
The Dcrown awaits the Gconquest;
Lead Don, O A7God of Dmight.
