The lyrics were written in November 1861 by Julia Ward Howe, a poet and abolitionist, during the time of the American Civil War. Inspired after visiting a Union Army camp near Washington, D.C., Howe heard soldiers singing “John Brown’s Body”, a marching song with a strong and compelling rhythm. That very night, she awoke suddenly and, in a moment of inspiration, wrote the now-famous lyrics in a single flow using a simple pencil. The hymn was later published in The Atlantic Monthly in February 1862. The melody itself traces back to a Methodist camp meeting tune composed by William Steffe around 1856, originally titled “Canaan’s Happy Shore.” Over time, the hymn became more than just a wartime anthem—it evolved into a universal declaration of justice and divine truth, sung at historic moments including the funerals of world leaders and echoed throughout civil rights movements. 📖 Biblical Foundation: The hymn is rich with apocalyptic imagery and biblical symbolism, portraying God as a righteous judge bringing justice to the earth: ✝️ Revelation 14:14–20 & 19:15 ✝️ Isaiah 63:1–6 ✝️ Hebrews 4:12 & Revelation 1:16 ✝️ Genesis 3:15 ✝️ Luke 2:7–14 ✝️ Jeremiah 25:30 🔥 Meaning & Message: This hymn carries a profound and timeless message: ✝ A Holy War Against Injustice ✝ Sacrificial Love & Freedom ✝ The Triumph of Truth ✝ A Universal Cry for Justice ======================================== 🎵 BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC 🎵 Mine 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. [Refrain] Glory! Glo­ry! Hal­le­lu­jah! Glory! Glo­ry! Hal­le­lu­jah! Glory! Glo­ry! Hal­le­lu­jah! His truth is march­ing on. I have seen Him in the watch fires of a hun­dred circ­ling camps They have build­ for 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. [Refrain] His day is march­ing on. I have read a fie­ry Gos­pel spirit in burn­ished 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. [Refrain] 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; Our God is march­ing on. [Refrain] Our 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 live to make men free; While God is march­ing on. [Refrain] While God is march­ing on. He is com­ing like the glo­ry of the morn­ing on the wave, He is wis­dom to the migh­ty He is hon­or to the brave; So the world shall be His foot­stool and the soul of wrong His slave, Our God is march­ing on. [Refrain] Our God is march­ing on. ======================================== 🎶 Original Song Credits 🎶 ======================================== 🍂 Title: Battle Hymn of the Republic 🎹 Song Writers: Julia Ward Howe 💽 Lyrics: Julia Ward Howe (1861) 🕺 Music: William Steffe (melody: “John Brown’s Body”) 💽 Original Artist: Traditional / American Patriotic Hymn 🗓️ Release Year: 1862 (published) ======================================== ⚠️ Copyright Disclaimer / Legal Notice: This arrangement is a creative reinterpretation of a traditional public domain hymn.
