The 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 his fateful lightning

of His terrible swift sword,

His truth is marching on

<Echo> Glory! Glory ! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah

Glory! Glory ! Hallelujah! 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

in the dim and daring lamps,

His day is marching on <Echo>

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 <Echo>

He has sounded forth the trumpet

that shall never call retreat,

He is sitting 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 <Echo>

The following stanzas are presented as sung by The Mormon Tabernacle Choir in 1960

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,

His truth is marching on <Echo>

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 <Echo>
