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 has loosed the fateful lightening of His terrible swift
sword
His truth is marching on.
Chorus (sung after each verse)
Glory! Glory!
Hallelu-Yah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelu-Yah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelu-Yah!
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
l can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring
lamps
His day is marching on.
Chorus...
I have read a fiery gospel writ in
burnish`d rows of steel,
"As ye deal with my condemners, So with you my grace
shall deal;"
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the Serpent with his heel
Since God is marching on.
(emphasis on this verse as it is left out of most renditions of today)
Chorus...
He has sounded forth the trumpet
that shall never call retreat
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His
judgment-seat
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my
feet!
Our God is marching on.
Chorus...
ln 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.
Chorus...
