Disc 1 - The Battle Hymn of the Republic - RCA Victor Symphony Orchestra/Thomas Pyle/Robert Shaw/William Steffe/The Robert Shaw Chorale
Lyrics by:Julia Ward Howe
Composed by:William Steffe
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 have loosed the fateful lightening
Of his terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on
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 have read his righteous sentence
By the dim and flaring lamps
His truth is marching on
Glory glory Hallelujah
Glory glory Hallelujah
Glory glory Hallelujah
His truth is marching on
He has sounded forth the trumpet
That shall never call retreat
He is sifting out the hearts of men
Before his judgement seat
Oh be swift my soul to answer him
Be jubilant my feet
Our God is marching on
Glory glory Hallelujah
Glory glory Hallelujah
Glory glory Hallelujah
His truth is marching on
Glory glory Hallelujah
Glory glory Hallelujah
Glory glory Hallelujah
His truth is marching on
On
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
His truth is marching on
Glory glory Hallelujah
Glory glory Hallelujah
Glory glory Hallelujah
His truth is marching on
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Glory glory Hallelujah
His truth is marching on
