1 The light of truth is breaking,
On the mountain tops it gleams,
Let it flash along the valleys,
Let it glitter on our streams,
Till all our land awakens,
In its flush of golden beams;
Our God is marching on.
Refrain:
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
As we go marching on.
2 From morning’s early watches,
Till the setting of the sun,
We will never flag, nor falter
In the work we have begun,
Till the forts have all surrendered
And the victory is won,
Our God is marching on. [Refrain]
3 We wield no carnal weapons,
And we hurl no fiery dart,
But with words of love and reason,
We are sure to win the heart,
And persuade the poor transgressor
To prefer the better part.
Our God is marching on. [Refrain]
