By: Julia Ward Howe
Joan Baez
Key: Bb

-6    -6   -6   -6  -5* -5  -6
Mine eyes have seen the glo-ry 
-7* 8  -9  -9  -9  8   -7*
of the com-ing of the Lord
-7*-7   7    7    7  -7  -7*  -7
He is tram-pling out the vin-tage 
-7*    7   -6    7   -6   -5   -6
where the grapes of wrath are stored
-6 -6    -6   -6   -6  -5*   -5     -6
He has loosed the fate-full light-‘ning 
-7* 8  -9  -9 -9    8    -7*
of His ter-ri-ble swift sword
-7*   8   8   -7*  -7 -7*
His truth is march-ing on

His truth is march-ing on



VERSE 2 : 

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
His truth is marching on

CHORUS
