  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.

1. Lift every voice and sing, till earth and Heav   -en    ring,
2. Stony the  road  we  trod, bitter the     chasten-ing   rod,
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. Let us march    on till victo  -    ry is   won.
2. Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
3. True to our     God, true to our    native  land.

1. And the rock-ets' red glare, the bombs burst-ing in air,
2. Then con-quer we must, when our        cause it  is just;
   G7   C     G       C   Em    F        C        D     G
1. Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
