The Battle Hymn of the Republic<\/strong>
\nby <\/span>Julia Ward Howe – November 1861<\/p>\n

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;<\/span>
\nHe is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;<\/span>
\nHe hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:<\/span>
\nHis truth is marching on.<\/span><\/p>\n

(Chorus)<\/span>
\nGlory, glory, hallelujah!<\/span>
\nGlory, glory, hallelujah!<\/span>
\nGlory, glory, hallelujah!<\/span>
\nHis truth is marching on.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps,<\/span>
\nThey have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;<\/span>
\nI can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps:<\/span>
\nHis day is marching on.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel:<\/span>
\n“As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal”;<\/span>
\nLet the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,<\/span>
\nSince God is marching on.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since God is marching on.<\/span>
\nHe has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;<\/span>
\nHe is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat:<\/span>
\nOh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet!<\/span>
\nOur God is marching on.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our God is marching on.<\/span>
\nIn the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,<\/span>
\nWith a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me.<\/span>
\nAs He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,<\/span>
\nWhile God is marching on.<\/span><\/p>\n

He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave,<\/span>
\nHe is Wisdom to the mighty, He is Succour to the brave,<\/span>
\nSo the world shall be His footstool, and the soul of Time His slave,<\/span>
\nOur God is marching on.w<\/span><\/p>\n
