Ernest W. Shurtleff/Henry Smart SDA Church Hymnal (1985) Hymn #619 [Verse 1]

D          G     D
[tab]    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.
