I have read His fiery gospel writ in rows of burnished steel!
"As ye deal with my condemners, so with you My grace shall deal!
Let the 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!
Our God is marching on.
A glorius American Anthem,if not THE most glorius.No offense to Mr FSKeye. Just reveling in the chorale.

Jingo, chant & slogan all rolled together to better appeal to small boys & gullible persons of (chronological) adulthood.
Julia Ward Howe - the creator of such drivel - was a socialist justUS whiner of the 19th century. Did you know that she & her hubby were supporters of a certain John Brown, late of Harpers Ferry & Kansas Territory?
Brown, a psycho who mutilated, tortured & murdered entire families simply because they refused to join with him? Little wonder that lincoln the tyrant with sherman the drunken murderer et al learned from the adulation heaped upon this battle hymn crap, and were thus inspired to terrorize an entire nation.
Give it up.
