Author: Julia Ward Howe Hymnal: Yes, Lord! #502 (1982) Hymnal Title: Yes, Lord! 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!
His truth 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 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 being that transfigures you and me;
As He died to make men holy let us live to make men free!
While God is marching on. [Refrain] Topics: Patriotic Languages: English Tune Title: [Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord]
