john philip sousa - battle hymn of the republic lyrics

Loading...

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!

[chorus]
glory! glory! hallelujah! glory! glory! hallelujah!
glory! glory! hallelujah! his truth is marching on.

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!

[chorus]

i have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of
steel;
“as ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace
shall deal;
let the hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his
heel,
since god is marching on.”

[chorus]

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!

[chorus]

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 die to make men
free,
while god is marching on.
