Lyrics from wikipedia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord:
\nHe is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
\nHe hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:
\nHis truth is marching on.<\/p>\n

Glory, glory, hallelujah!
\nGlory, glory, hallelujah!
\nGlory, glory, hallelujah!
\nHis truth is marching on.<\/p>\n

I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps,
\nThey have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
\nI can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps:
\nHis day is marching on.<\/p>\n

Glory, glory, hallelujah!
\nGlory, glory, hallelujah!
\nGlory, glory, hallelujah!
\nHis day is marching on.<\/p>\n

I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel:
\n“As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal;
\nLet the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,
\nSince God is marching on.”<\/p>\n

Glory, glory, hallelujah!
\nGlory, glory, hallelujah!
\nGlory, glory, hallelujah!
\nSince God is marching on.<\/p>\n

He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
\nHe is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat:
\nOh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet!
\nOur God is marching on.<\/p>\n

Glory, glory, hallelujah!
\nGlory, glory, hallelujah!
\nGlory, glory, hallelujah!
\nOur God is marching on.<\/p>\n

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
\nWith a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
\nAs He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
\nWhile God is marching on.<\/p>\n

Glory, glory, hallelujah!
\nGlory, glory, hallelujah!
\nGlory, glory, hallelujah!
\nWhile God is marching on.<\/p>\n

He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave,
\nHe is Wisdom to the mighty, He is Succour to the brave,
\nSo the world shall be His footstool, and the soul of Time His slave,
\nOur God is marching on.<\/p>\n

Glory, glory, hallelujah!
\nGlory, glory, hallelujah!
\nGlory, glory, hallelujah!
\nOur God is marching on.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
