Battle Hymn Of The Republic
By 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 has loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible
swift sword
His truth is marching on.
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
l can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring
lamps
His day is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnish`d rows of
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.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
