(J=100) Mine eyes have seen the glory of the com-ing of

the Lord;

He

is trampling out

the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;

He hath loosed the fate ful light - ning of His ter- ri ble swift sword;

Glory, glo-ry, hal - le - lu

jah! His truth is march-ing on. A-men

2 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 have read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps;
His day is marching on.-CHO.

3 I have read a fiery gospel, writ in burnish'd rows of steel;

"As ye deal with My contemners, so with you My grace shall deal:"
Let the hero born of woman crush the serpent with his heel.
Since God is marching on.-CHO.

4 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!
Our God is marching on--CHO.

5 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.-CHO. Amen.

(J-100) O God of love, O King of peace, Make wars throughout the world to cease;

The wrath of sinful man restrain, Give peace, O God, give peace a-gain! A-men.

2 Remember, Lord, Thy works of old,
The wonders that our fathers told;
Remember not our sin's dark stain,
Give peace, O God, give peace again.
3 Whom shall we trust but Thee, O Lord?
Where rest but on Thy faithful Word?

None ever called on Thee in vain,
Give peace, O God, give peace again.
4 Where saints and angels dwell above,
All hearts are knit in holy love;
Oh, bind us in that heavenly chain!
Give peace, O God, give peace again.
Amen.

Not kings and lords, but na- tions, Not thrones and crowns, but men!

Flow'rs of Thy heart, O God, are they, Let them not pass, like weeds, a - way,

Their heritage a sun-less day: God save the people! A-men.
