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 His
terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on!
I have seen Him in the watchfires
Of a hundred circling camps;
They have builded Him and altar
In the evening dews and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence
By the dim and flaring lamps.
His day is marching on!
He has sounded forth the trumpet
That shall never call retreat,
He is sifting out the hearts of men
Before His judgement 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 a 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!
