647. Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
      D                                   A
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;

He hath loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword;
    D        E        A
His truth is marching on.
A                         D                   A
Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, halle-lujah!
A                             D        E        A
Glory, glory, hallelujah! His truth is marching on.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[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.

[Refrain]
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]
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.
