Chorus:Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!His truth is marching on.
Verse 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 has loosed the fateful lightening
Of His terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on.
Verse 2:I have seen Him in the watch-fires
Of a hundred circling camps
They have builded Him an alter
In the evening dews and damps
I can read His righteous sentence
By the dim and flaring lamps
His day is marching on.
Verse 3: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.
Verse 4:He has sounded forth the trumpet
That shall never call retreat
He is sifting out the hearts of men
Before His judgement seat
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him!
be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.
Verse 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.
