Battle Hymn Of The Republic - Boxcar Willie
[Verse 1]
G
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
C G D
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
G B Em
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible, swift sword;
Am D G
His truth is mar-ching on.
|[Chorus]
|G C G
| Glory! Glory! halle-lu-jah! Glory! Glory! hallelu-jah!
|G B Em Am D G
| Glory! Glory! halle-lu-jah! His truth is mar-ching on.
[Verse 2]
G
I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel;
C G D
"As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal;
G B Em
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,
Am D G
Since God is mar-ching on."
|[Chorus]
|G C G
| Glory! Glory! halle-lu-jah! Glory! Glory! hallelu-jah!
|G B Em Am D G
| Glory! Glory! halle-lu-jah! His truth is mar-ching on.
[Verse 3]
G
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat,
C G D
He is sifting out the hearts of men be-fore His judgment seat;
G B Em
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! Be jubilant, my feet!
Am D G
Our God is mar-ching on!
|[Chorus]
|G C G
| Glory! Glory! halle-lu-jah! Glory! Glory! hallelu-jah!
|G B Em Am D G
| Glory! Glory! halle-lu-jah! His truth is mar-ching on.
[Verse 4]
G
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
C G D
With a glory in His bosom that trans-figures you and me;
G B Em
As He died to make men holy, let us live to make men free,
Am D G
While God is mar-ching on.
|[Chorus]
|G C G
| Glory! Glory! halle-lu-jah! Glory! Glory! hallelu-jah!
|G B Em Am D G
| Glory! Glory! halle-lu-jah! His truth is mar-ching on.
[Verse 5]
G
We can almost hear the trumpet sound, the Lord’s return is near;
C G D
There are still so many people lost, His message they must hear;
G B Em
Fa-ther, give us one more moment, One more day, just one more year-
Am D G
With God we’re mar-ching on.
[Outro]
G C G
Glory! Glory! halle-lu-jah! Glory! Glory! hallelu-jah!
G B Em Am D Em
Glory! Glory! halle-lu-jah! His truth is mar-ching on.
Am D Em Am D G
His truth is mar-ching on. His truth is mar-ching on.
