BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC [Intro - slowly]
    Am       D4  D     G
(His truth is mar-ching on)
[Verse 1]
     G                                             G glissando
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;

      C                                   G                   D7 glissando
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;

        G                  G/B               B7              Em glissando
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible, swift sword;

    Am       D4  D     G
His truth is mar-ching on.
[Chorus]
G      G/B                     C      C/A          G  G7
Glory! Glory! halle-lu- jah!   Glory! Glory! hallelu-jah!

G      G/B         B7/D#  Em        Am       D4  D     G
Glory! Glory! halle- lu - jah!  His truth is mar-ching on.
[Verse 2 - a capella duet] N.C. In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, N.C. With a glory in His bosom that trans-figures you and me; N.C. As He died to make men holy, let us live to make men free,
      Am     D4  D     G
While God is mar-ching on.
[Verse 3]
     G                                                   G/B
I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps,

          C                           G                D7
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;

      G                                  G/B
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps:

    C      D4       G
His day is marching on.
[Chorus]
G      G/B                     C      C/A          G  G7
Glory! Glory! halle-lu- jah!   Glory! Glory! hallelu-jah!

G      G/B         B7/D#  Em        Am       D4  D     G
Glory! Glory! halle- lu - jah!  His truth is mar-ching on.

From sea to shining sea!
