by Julia Ward Howe (words) and William Steffe (music).

G
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord,
      C                                       G
He is trampling out the vineyards where the grapes of wrath are stored.
                                             Em
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword.
    Am       D        G
His truth is marching on.

G                          C                    G
Glory! Glory, hallelujah!  Glory!  Glory, hallelujah!
                   Em         Am       D        G
Glory! Glory, hallelujah! His truth is marching on!

G
I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps,
          C                             G
They have build-ed Him an altar in the evening dews and damps.
                                         Em
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps.
    Am     D        G
His day is marching on.

G
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never sound retreat,
          C                           G
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgement seat.
                                        Em
O be swift, my soul, to answer Him!  Be jubilant, my feet!
    Am     D        G
Our God is marching on.

G
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.
                                   Em
As He died to make me holy, let us live to make men free,
      Am     D        G
While God is marching on.
