Battle Hymn of The Republic

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. 

He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never sound 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.

          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 live to make men free,

While God is marching on.

          Chorus

O join this mighty army there's a battle to be won;

Let us now put in the sickle for the harvest time has come;

Countless multitudes are waiting just to hear of God's own Son,

His army marches on!

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
