BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC. 



SONGS OF LONG AGO. 



I. 



Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord ; 

 He is tramping out the vintage, where the grapes of wrath are stored 

 He hath loos'd the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword; 

 His truth is marching on. 



CHORUS : 



Glory, glory hallelujah! Glory, glory hallelujah! 

 Glory, glory hallelujah! His truth is marching on. 



II. 



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 truth is marching on. 

 CHORUS : 



III. 



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. 

 CHORUS : 



IV. 



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. 

 CHORUS : 



(34)
