  BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC

  1

  Mine eyes have seen the glory oi 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.

  
  

  2

  I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred

       circling camps;

  They have builded Him an altar m the evening dews

        and damps; 

  I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and

        flaring lamps,

  His day is marching on.

  
  

  3

  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.

  
  

  4

  He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never

        call retreat; .

  He is sifting out the hearts ot men before His judge-

        ment seat;

  O, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant,

        my feet!

     Our God is marching on.
