Lead on, almighty Lord,
 
Lead on to victory:
 
Encouraged by Thy blessèd Word,
 
With joy we follow Thee.

We follow Thee, our Guide,
 
Who didst salvation bring:
 
We follow Thee, through grace supplied
 
From heaven’s eternal spring:
“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.” (John 16:13)
“For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men.” (Titus 2:11)
“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” (2 Corinthians 12:9)
“But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.” (John 4:14)

Till of the prize possessed,
 
We hear of war no more,
 
And, oh sweet thought! forever rest
 
On yonder, peaceful shore.
“Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ.” (Philippians 3:8)
“And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.” (Isaiah 2:4)
