Verse 1

 Lead Am on,  O F King  eC ternal,
 The Am day  of F march  has C come;
 HenceAm forth  in F fields  of C conquest,
 Thy Am tents  shall F be  our C home.
 Through G days  of  preparaAm tion,
 Thy G grace  has  made  us  strongF ;
 And Am now,  O F King  etC ernal,
 We Am lift  our F battle C song.

Chorus

Lead G on, O F King; G Lead on, O F King;

Lead G on, O Dm King, Lead onAm F C

Verse 2

 Lead Am on,  O F King  eC ternal,
 Till Am sin's  fierce F war  shall C cease,
 And Am holinF ess  shall C whisper,
 The Am sweet  amF en  of C peace.
 For G not  with  swords'  loud  clasAm hing,
 Nor G roll  of  stirring  drumsF ;
 With Am deeds  of F love  and C mercy,
 The Am heavenly F kingdom C comes.

Verse 3

 Lead Am on,  O F King  etC ernal,
 We Am follow, F not  with C fears,
 For Am gladness F breaks  like C morning,
 WhereAm 'er  Thy F face  appC ears.
 Thy G cross  is  lifted  over Am us,
 We G journey  in  its  lighF t;
 The Am crown  awF aits  the C conquest;
 Lead Am on,  O F God  of C might.
