Author: Julia Word Howe Hymnal: Reformed Press Hymnal #168 (1934) 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 ofHhis terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.
Chorus:
Glory! glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
2 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. [Chorus]
3 I have read a fiery gospel, writ in burnished 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. [Chorus]
4 He has sounded forth his 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]
5 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. [Chorus]
