My eyes have seen the glory Of the coming of the lord He’s trampling the deceit His truth is marching on I’ve seen him in proud fires Of a thousand burning hearts An altar built from wisdom His day is marching on Sound forth the trumpets! Sound them forth That shall never call retreat Sound forth the trumpets! Sound them forth Let’s die to disinfest men I have read a fiery gospel A writ in burnished rows of steel As you deal with his opponent With you all his grace shall fall He’s sounded forth the trumpet That shall never call retreat Be jubilant and free Our lord is marching on He’s born to make men holy He’s born to make men free A truth is marching on That enlightens you and me
