The song’s popularity made her one of the most famous women in the country.The Battle Hymn of the RepublicMine 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.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.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 this Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,Since God is marching on.”He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat:Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet!21861 - The Battle Hymn of the RepublicOur God 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.Julia Ward Howe, “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” The Atlantic Monthly, February 1862, Vol.IX: No. LII.Howe, Julia Ward.
