  Lead On, O King Eternal (LANCASHIRE) by Henry T. Smart is also sometimes used with the lyrics "The Day of Resurrection." It's fine with us if you call it that, but sometimes a hymn tune comes together with a set of lyrics and the result is absolutely amazing. We think Lead On, O King Eternal is one of those hymns. We've put together a march arrangement using a little trumpet motif to bind the stanzas together. The first stanza is a relaxed march with the melody in the euphonium and trumpet licks to answer the phrases. The second stanza is the straight hymn tune by the low brass. The third stanza is a full-on march treatment with the melody in the first trumpet and a counterpoint by the first trombone. This piece need not be limited to brass sextet, but larger brass ensembles will perform it effectively as well. Scored for two trumpets, euphonium, two trombones, and tuba, the pdf includes a french horn part that easily substitutes for the euphonium. + + + Lead on, O King Eternal, The day of march has come; Henceforth in fields of conquest Thy tents shall be our home. Through days of preparation Thy grace has made us strong, And now, O King Eternal, We lift our battle song. Lead on, O King Eternal, 'Til sin's fierce war shall cease, And holiness shall whisper The sweet amen of peace. For not with sword's loud clashing, Nor roll of stirring drums, With deeds of love and mercy The heavenly kingdom comes. Lead on, O King Eternal, We follow, not with fear, For gladness breaks like morning Where'er Thy face appears. Thy cross is lifted o'er us, We journey in its light; The crown awaits the conquest, Lead on, O God of might. ---Ernest W. Shurtleff + + + MP3 sound sample: entire piece (synthesizer/midi).

| WE SEEK RECORDINGS TO USE AS DEMOS The majority of our sheet music pieces use electronically-produced demos on the item pages. We would much prefer to use actual recordings, so if you email us a digital recording or link to an online video and we end up using it as a demo on our site (fully credited), we will send you a coupon code good for US$25 toward your next purchase from our site. BLANKET RECORDING POLICY FOR SHEET MUSIC Many of our sheet music licenses state that the purchaser does not have the right to record the work. We have modified our policy on this, and unless the license page states that you must obtain permission from a party other than www.tributek.com to record the work, we will allow a small number (less than 50) of copies of an audio or video recording of a live performance to be made and distributed and/or posted to a free web site for viewing/listening, so long as www.tributek.com, the composer, arranger, and lyricist are credited.
