Author: Julia Ward Howe Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #705 (1995) Meter: 15.15.15.6 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 has loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword;
his truth is marching on.
[Refrain:]
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
2 He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
he is sifting out all human hearts 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 die to make all free,
while God is marching on. [Refrain] Topics: God's World Consummation; God's World Consummation; Consummation; Jesus Christ: Reign; Judgment Languages: English Tune Title: BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC
