Battle Hymn of the Republic - Joshua James
Lyrics by:William Steffe
Composed by:William Steffe
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 have loosed the fateful lightening of
His terrible swift sword
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 truth is marching on
I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel
As ye deal with my condemners
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 oh be jubilant my feet
Ah God is marching on
Glory glory Hallelujah
Glory glory Hallelujah
Glory glory Hallelujah
His truth is marching on
In the beauties 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
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
His truth is marching on
