Lyrics

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

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 truth is marching on

Glory! Glory, hallelujah
Glory! Glory, hallelujah
Glory! Glory, hallelujah
His truth is marching on

He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never sound 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
His truth is marching on

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
His truth is marching on

Glory! Glory, hallelujah
Glory! Glory, hallelujah
Glory! Glory, hallelujah
His truth is marching on
