1. Lead on, O King, eternal, With banner, sword and shield. Lead on thy royal army, Exultant in the field; With courage bold and fearless, Our faith looks up to thee, And trusting in thy mercy, We'll shout the victory. Chorus: We'll shout the victory, We'll shout the victory, And trusting in thy mercy, We'll shout the victory. 2. The prince and pow'rs of darkness Are pressing on our track, And yet with all their froces, They cannot drive us back; For thou the King of glory Wilt our Deliv'rer be, And trusting in thy mercy, We'll shout the victory. 3. And when the battle's over We lay our armor down, And at thy feet in triumph Receive our starry crown; When thee our great Commander, Our joyful eyes shall see, Forever and forever, We'll shout the victory.
