Battle Hymn of the Republic (midi)

G

1. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord,

C G

he is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored.

He has loos`d the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword,

C D G

his truth is marching on.

G C G

Glory, glory hallelujah! Glory, glory hallelujah!

C D G

Glory, glory hallelujah! His truth is marching on.

G

2. I have seen him in the watch fires of a hundred circling camps,

C G

they have builded him an altar in the evening dews and damps.

I can read his righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps,

C D G

his day is marching on.

+ CHORUS

G

3. I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel,

C G

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,

C D G

since God is marching on.

+ CHORUS

G

4. He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat,

C G

He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgement seat.

Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! Be jubilant, my feet!

C D G

Our God is marching on.

G C G

Glory, glory hallelujah! Glory, glory hallelujah!

5. In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,

C G

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,

C D G

while God is marching on.

+ CHORUS
