Hymn 419 BATTLE HYMN Lyrics

1. 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 the fateful lightening
of His terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on,
Glory! Glory hallelujah! Glory! Glory
hallelujah! Glory! Glory hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

2. 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 righteousness
by the dim and flaring lamps;
His day is marching on.
Glory! Glary, hallelujah! Glory! Glory
hallelujah! Glory! Glory, hallelujah!
His day is marching on.

3. He has sounded forth the trumpet
that shall never sound 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.
Glory! Glory hallelujah! Glory! Glory
hallelujah! Glory Glory, hallelujah!
Our God is marching on.

4. 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.
Glory! Glory hallelujah! Glory! Glory
hallelujah! Glary! Glory, hallelujah!
While God is marching on.
