'''''The Battle Hymn of the Republic''''' is an American patriotic song written during the [[Civil War]] by [[Julia Ward Howe]].
: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.
::Chorus:
::Glory, glory, hallelujah!
::Glory, glory, hallelujah!
::Glory, glory, hallelujah!
::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 day is marching on.
::Chorus
:I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel:
:"As ye deal with my condemners, so with you my grace shall deal;
:Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with His heel,
:Since God is marching on."
::Chorus
:He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
:He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat:
:Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet!
:Our God is marching on.
::Chorus
: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.
::Chorus
:He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave,
:He is Wisdom to the mighty, He is Succour to the brave,
:So the world shall be His footstool, and the soul of Time His slave,
:Our God is marching on.
::Chorus
