647. Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory

Verse 1

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 has loosed the fateful lightning of

His terrible swift sword;

His truth is marching on.

Verse 1

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.

Verse 2

He has sounded forth the trumpet

that shall never call retreat;

He is sifting out the hearts of men

before His judgment seat;

O be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet!

Our God is marching on.

Verse 3

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.

Verse 4

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.

Verse 5

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.
