5th verse of The Battle Hymn of the Republic . . .
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.
(Chorus)
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
While God is marching on.
* Many modern recordings of the Battle Hymn of
the Republic utilize the lyric "As He died to make men holy, let us live to make
men free" as opposed to the lyric originally written by Julia Ward
Howe.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.
(Chorus)
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
While God is marching on.
