Author: Julia W. Howe, 1819-1910 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #433 (2010) Hymnal Title: CPWI Hymnal First Line: Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord 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 I have seen him in the watchfires 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. [Refrain]
3 He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat,
he is sifting out the hearts of men before his judgment seat;
O be swift, my soul, to answer him! Be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on. [Refrain]
4 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,
while God is marching on. [Refrain] Topics: General Hymns Christian Warfare Languages: English Tune Title: BATTLE HYMN
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
