Battle Hymn of the Republic

Lyrics

1. 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.

2. [Chorus]

   Glory, glory, hallelujah!

   Glory, glory, hallelujah!

   Glory, glory, hallelujah!

   His truth is marching on.

3. 2. He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;

   He is sifting out the hearts of men before his judgment seat.

   Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer him; be jubilant my feet!

   Our God is marching on.

4. 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 men holy, let us live to make men free,

   While God is marching on.
