Christ, the Lord, is our sure foundation,

Christ, the head and cornerstone;

Chosen by our God most precious,

Binding all the Church as one.

Jesus Christ, the one rejected,

By the faithless cast aside;

Living stone, ordained to live eternally on high!

Christ, the Lord, is our sure foundation,

Christ, the head and cornerstone;

Chosen by our God most precious,

Binding all the Church as one.

Chosen race, O holy nation,

Called from darkness into light;

Sing of grace and mercy and proclaim God’s pow’r and might.

You are led by God’s great light!

1) Lead on, O King eternal,
the day of march has come;
henceforth in fields of conquest
your tents shall be our home.
Through days of preparation
your grace has made us strong;
and now, O King eternal,
we lift our battle song.

2) 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
or roll of stirring drums
with deeds of love and mercy
the heavenly kingdom comes.

3) Lead on, O King eternal;
we follow, not with fears,
for gladness breaks like morning
where’er your face appears.
Your cross is lifted o’er us,
we journey in its light;
the crown awaits the conquest;
lead on, O God of might.

Christ, the Lord, is our sure foundation,

Christ, the head and cornerstone;

Chosen by our God most precious,

Binding all the Church as one, the Church as one.
