julia ward howe - the battle hymn of the republic lyrics
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.
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.
glory! glory! hallelujah! glory! glory! hallelujah!
glory! glory! hallelujah! his day is marching on.
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.
glory! glory! hallelujah! glory! glory! hallelujah!
glory! glory! hallelujah! since god is marching on.
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.
glory! glory! hallelujah! glory! glory! hallelujah!
glory! glory! hallelujah! our god is marching on.
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;
[originally …let us die to make men free]
while god is marching on.
glory! glory! hallelujah! glory! glory! hallelujah!
glory! glory! hallelujah! while god is marching on.
he is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave,
he is wisdom to the mighty, he is honor to the brave;
so the world shall be his footstool, and the soul of
wrong his slave,
our god is marching on.
glory! glory! hallelujah! glory! glory! hallelujah!
glory! glory! hallelujah! our god is marching on.
