The Battle Hymn of the Republic.

                   The Battle Hymn of the Republic
                        Julia Ward Howe 1862

       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.

                      Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
                      Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
                      Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
                      His truth is marching on.

   I have seenf 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 truth is marching on.

     I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnish d 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!
                      His truth 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!
                      His truth 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 die to make men free,
                      While God is marching on.

                      Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
                      Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
                      Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
                      His truth is marching on.
