Author: Jula W. Howe (1819-1910) Hymnal: Lift Every Voice and Sing II #226 (1993) 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 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. [Refrain]
3 He has sounded forth the trumpet
that shall never sound retreat,
He is sifting out the hearts of men
before His judgement 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 men holy,
let us live to make all free,
While God is marching on. [Refrain] Topics: Hymns and Songs Social Justice Languages: English Tune Title: BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC
