BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC

C
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord,
F                                                          C
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored,
F
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword,
F            C     G7   C
His truth is marching on.
C                                        F                        C
Glory, glory, Hallelujah, Glory, glory. Hallelujah.
F                                            C           G7            C
Glory, glory hallelujah, His truth is marching on.

C
I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps,
F                                            C
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps.
F
I have read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps,
F            C     G7     C
His truth is marching on.

C                                        F                            C
Glory, glory, Hallelujah, Glory, glory. Hallelujah.
F            C     G7     C
Glory, glory hallelujah, His truth is marching on.
