G
1 Mine eyes have seen the glo-ry of the com - ing of the Lord,
2 I have seen Him in the watch - fires of a hun -dred cir-cling camps,
3 He has sound-ed forth the trum-pet thgat shall nev-er sound re-treat,
4 In the beau - ty of the lil - ies Christ was born a - cross the sea,
G7 C (D) C G
1 He is tram-pling out the vin-tage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
2 They have build-ed Him an al-tar in the eve-ning dews and damps;
3 He is sift-ing out the hearts of men be -fore His judg - ment seat;
4 With a glo-ry in His bos -om that trans-fig - ures you and me;
G B Em
1 He hath loosed the fate-ful light-ning of His ter-ri-ble swift sword-
2 I can read His right-ious sen-tence by the dim and flar-ing lamps-
3 O be swift, my soul, to an-swer Him! be ju-bi-lant, my feet!
4 As He died to make men ho-ly, let us live to make men free,
G Am G D G
1 His truth is march-ing on.
2 His day is march-ing on.
3 Our God is march-ing on.
4 While God is march-ing on.
