Lyrics 

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 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 day 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 die to make men free! 

While God is marching on.
