Author: Julia W. Howe Hymnal: The New Church Hymnal #577 (1976) First Line: Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord Refrain First Line: Glory! Glory, hallelujah! Lyrics: 1 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!Glory! Glory, hallelujah!Our God is marching on.2 I have seen Him in the watchfires 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] 3 He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;He is sifting out the hearts of all before His judgment seat.O be swift, my soul, to answer Him! Be jubilant, my feet!Our God is marching on. [Refrain]4 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.
