American Melody

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

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

His truth is marching on!

I have seen Him in the watchfires

Of a hundred circling camps;

They have builded Him and altar

In the evening dews and damps;

I can read His righteous sentence

By the dim and flaring lamps.

His day 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;

O, be swift, my soul,

to answer Him!

Be jubilant, my feet!

Our God is marching on!

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 live to make men free,

While God is marching on!
