Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory
BATTLE HYMN 15.15.15.6.Ref.
LOVE OF COUNTRY
Glory! Glory! Halelujah! Glory! Glory! Halelujah!
Glory! Glory! Halelujah! His truth is marching on.
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 has loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword; 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; O be swift, my soul, to answer Him; be jubilant, my feet! Our God is marching on.
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, With the glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me; As He died to make men holy, let us live to make men free! While God is marching on.

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 has loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.

Refrain
Glory! Glory! Halelujah! Glory! Glory! Halelujah!
Glory! Glory! Halelujah! 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;
O be swift, my soul, to answer Him; be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With the glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me;
As He died to make men holy, let us live to make men free!
While God is marching on.
