Author: Julia Ward Howe, 1819-1910 Hymnal: His Fullness Songs #510 (1977) Hymnal Title: His Fullness Songs 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 hearts of men 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 die to make men free,
While God is marching on. [Refrain] Topics: National Languages: English Tune Title: BATTLE HYMN
Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory
