|
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.
|
|
cho: 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
|
l can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps
|
His day is marching on.
|
|
cho:
|
I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnish`d rows of steel,
|
"As ye deal with my contemners, So with you my grace shall deal;"
|
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel
|
Since God is marching on.
|
|
cho:
|
|
He has sounded form 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.

|
cho:
|
|
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.
