- 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.
Refrain
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.
Refrain - He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall nev er 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.
Refrain - 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.
Refrain
Amen
