Author: Julia Ward Howe Hymnal: Celebrating Grace Hymnal #439 (2010) Meter: Irregular with refrain First Line: Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord Refrain First Line: Glory! glory, hallelujah! Lyrics: 1 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.
Refrain:
Glory! glory, hallelujah!
Glory! glory, hallelujah!
Glory! glory, hallelujah!
Our God is marching on.
2 He has sounded forth the trumpet
that shall never sound retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of all
before His judgment seat;
O be swift, my soul, to answer Him;
be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on. [Refrain]
3 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 us holy,
let us live to make all free.
Our God is marching on. [Refrain]
4 He is coming like the glory
of the morning on the wave;
He is wisdom to the mighty,
He is honor to the brave;
so the world shall be His footstool,
and the soul of wrong His slave.
Our God is marching on. [Refrain]
