John Brown’s Body• John Brown's body lies a-mouldering in the grave;
(3X) His soul's marching on! (• Chorus) Glory, halle—hallelujah! Glory, halle—
hallelujah! Glory, halle—hallelujah! his soul's marching on!
• He's gone to be a soldier in the army of the Lord! (3X) His soul's marching on! (
• Chorus) John Brown's knapsack is strapped upon his back! (3X) His soul's marching on! (
• Chorus) His pet lambs will meet him on the way; (3X) They go marching on! (3X) As they march along!
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 hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword: His truth is marching on.
• (Chorus) 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. (Chorus) Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! His day is marching on.
• I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel: "As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal; Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel, Since God is marching on."
