The United States Army Field Band performs the famous Civil War-era piece, "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." Lyrics: Julia Ward Howe Music: William Steffe Setting: Peter J. Wilhousky Arrangement: James Neilson Conductor: 1st Lt. Alexandra Borza Lyrics 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 hath loosed the fateful lightning 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 can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps, His day 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 die to make men free! While God is marching on. http://www.armyfieldband.com http://www.youtube.com/ArmyFieldBand http://www.facebook.com/ArmyFieldBand http://twitter.com/armyfieldband https://www.instagram.com/armyfieldband/ http://www.facebook.com/thesixstrings...
