Battle Hymn Of The Republic(Chords)

	        
Verse 1:

G 
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord, 
      C                                       G 
He is trampling out the vineyards where the grapes of wrath are stored. 
                                             Em 
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword 
    Am       D        G 
His truth is marching on 


G                          C                    G 
Glory! Glory, hallelujah!  Glory!  Glory, hallelujah 
                   Em         Am       D        G 
Glory! Glory, hallelujah! His truth is marching on 

Verse 2:

G 
I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps 
          C                             G 
They have build-ed Him an altar in the evening dews and damps 
                                         Em 
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps 
    Am     D        G 
His day is marching on 



G                          C                    G 
Glory! Glory, hallelujah!  Glory!  Glory, hallelujah 
                   Em         Am       D        G 
Glory! Glory, hallelujah! His truth is marching on
 
Verse 3:

G 
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never sound retreat 
          C                           G 
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgement seat 
                                        Em 
O be swift, my soul, to answer Him!  Be jubilant, my feet 
    Am     D        G 
Our God is marching on 



G                          C                    G 
Glory! Glory, hallelujah!  Glory!  Glory, hallelujah 
                   Em         Am       D        G 
Glory! Glory, hallelujah! His truth is marching on 

Verse 4:

G 
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea 
       C                             G 
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me 
                                   Em 
As He died to make me holy, let us live to make men free 
      Am     D        G 
While God is marching on 



G                          C                    G 
Glory! Glory, hallelujah!  Glory!  Glory, hallelujah 
                   Em         Am       D        G 
Glory! Glory, hallelujah! His truth is marching on
