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.

3. God of our wear -y years, God of our sil - ent tears,
Am B7 C G D7
1. Ring with the har - mo -nies of liber - ty;
2. Felt in the days when hope un -born had died;
3. Thou Who hast brought us thus far on the way;
G Em E E7 Am B7 C
1. Let our re - joic-ing rise, high as the liste-ning skies,
2. Yet with a stea-dy beat, have not our wea- ry feet,
3. Thou Who hast by Thy might, led us in - to the light,
Cdim G D7 G
1. Let it re -sound loud as the rolling sea.
2. Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
3. Keep us for-ever in the path, we pray.
G
1. Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
2. We have come over a way that with tears has been watered,
3. Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee.
Gdim G G7 D7
1. Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
2. We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughter-ed;
3. Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee.
G Em E E7 Am B7 C
1. Facing the ris - ing sun of our new day be-gun,
2. Out from the gloo- my past, till now we stand at last
3. Shadowed be- neath Thy hand, may we for- ev - er stand,
Cdim G D7 G

1. Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the per-il-ous fight,
2. Blest with vic-t'ry and peace, may the heav'n-res-cued land
