Glory, Glory, Hallelujah

Please take the time to read this in its entirety:

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord

He is trapling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored

He has 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


I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnish'd 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


He has sounded from the trumpet that shall never call retreat

He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat

Oh, be swift, my soul to answer, oh be jubilant, my feet

His truth is marching on


Glory, Glory hallelujah

Glory, Glory hallelujah

Glory, Glory hallelujah

His truth 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

His truth is marching on


Glory, Glory hallelujah

Glory, Glory hallelujah

Glory, Glory hallelujah

His truth is marching on


Our Nation WAS founded on the Truth…gospel of Jesus Christ. Don’t let anyone else who is trying to revise history tell you any different.


Enjoy your 4th.

Thank God for our FREEDOM!!!



I would also like to add a little history for us to remember: July 4, 1776 is when the Continental Congress declared that we were no longer under the monarchy of Britain, but were a free and United nation of independent states. The "Battle Hymn of the Republic", also known as "Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory" outside of the United States, is a popular American patriotic song by the abolitionist writer Julia Ward Howe. The "Glory, Hallelujah" tune was a folk hymn developed in the oral hymn tradition of camp meetings in the southern United States and first documented in the early 1800s. Julia Howe wrote the lyrics in November of 1861 during the Civil War as she and her husband actively participated in all anti-slavery movements.

Here’s what she said about writing the lyrics for those men fighting in the war:


“I went to bed that night as usual, and slept, according to my wont, quite soundly. I awoke in the gray of the morning twilight; and as I lay waiting for the dawn, the long lines of the desired poem began to twine themselves in my mind. Having thought out all the stanzas, I said to myself, "I must get up and write these verses down, lest I fall asleep again and forget them." So, with a sudden effort, I sprang out of bed, and found in the dimness an old stump of a pencil which I remembered to have used the day before. I scrawled the verses almost without looking at the paper.”


I believe God gave her those lyrics!


Praise! Praise! Praise the Lord because His Truth continues to March on monster what is going on around us!!!!
