Battle Hymn of the Republic

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 lightning of zhis terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.

Refrain:
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 the righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps;
His day is marching on.

[Refrain]

3 He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of all before His judgment seat;
O be swift, my soul, to answer Him; be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.

[Refrain]

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 us holy, let us die to make men free,
while God is marching on.

[Refrain]

“Battle Hymn of the Republic” is a patriotic American song written by Julia Ward Howe in 1861 during the American Civil War. It is set to the tune of “John Brown’s Body” and has become one of the most famous American anthems. Origins & History The melody originally came from a popular campfire song among Union soldiers, “John Brown’s Body,” which honored the abolitionist John Brown. Julia Ward Howe, inspired after hearing soldiers singing the tune, wrote new lyrics with a strong religious and patriotic message. Her version was published in The Atlantic Monthly in February 1862, becoming a rallying cry for the Union Army. Over time, the song has been used in various historical and political contexts, symbolizing justice, liberty, and the fight against oppression.” (ArgonNational Anthems)
