https://youtube/watch?v=9quPWDoLxF0 I love love LOVE this song - listen to Johnny Cashs opening monologue - he says that both sides in the Civil War sung this song and he says that it proves that music belongs to all men .... but he is wrong about that - it is not music that belongs to all man, but GOD. Can you just picture it??? It really is so glorious - not like that attitude we have today regarding war and our false notions of peace. They are coming home bruised but not beaten because they have God. They have stood beneath the cross singing the canticle of love. Just as a side note - this song would never pass for a Catholic song - because there is error in it - As He died to make men holy, let us live to make men free ... yeah that doesnt fly. But read the words they really are beautiful - especially when you consider that they are coming out of the midst of war. The Battle Hymn Of The Republic 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 lightening Of His terrible swift sword 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 can read his righteous sentence By the dim and flaring lamps His day is marching on I have read a fiery gospel Writ in burnishd 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 Since God is marching on Glory, glory, hallelujah Glory, glory, hallelujah Glory, glory, hallelujah Our God is marching on He has sounded form 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 him be jubilant, my feet Our God is marching on Glory, glory, hallelujah Glory, glory, hallelujah Glory, glory, hallelujah Our God 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 While God is marching on Glory, glory, hallelujah Glory, glory, hallelujah Glory, glory, hallelujah Our God is marching on
