BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC
Writer Julia Ward Howe
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the
Lord; He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes
of wrath are stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning
of His terrible swift sword; His truth is marching
on. CHORUS: Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory!
Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.
I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling
camps; They have builded Him an altar in the evening
dews and damps; I can read His righteous sentence by
the dim and flaring lamps,
His day is marching on. I have read His fiery gospel
writ in rows of burnished steel!
"As ye deal with my contemners,
so with you My grace shall deal!
Let the Hero, born of woman,
crush the serpent with his heel,
" Since God is marching on.
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call
retreat; He is sifting out the hearts of men before
His judgment seat; Oh, be swift,
my soul, to answer Him; be jubilant,
my feet! Our God is marching on.
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across
the sea, With a glory in His bosom that transfigures
you and me; As He died to make men holy,
let us die to make men free! While God is marching on.
