Battle Hymn of the Republic 7th GRADE
1. 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. Chorus: 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 builded 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. (Repeat Chorus.)
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgement seat;
Oh! be swift, my soul, to answer Him! Be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on. (Repeat Chorus.)
In the beauty of the lilies, Christ was born across the sea,
With glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me;
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on. (Repeat Chorus.)
- Julia Ward Howe
Hail, Columbia 8th GRADE
Hail, Columbia, happy land,
Hail, ye heroes, heav’n born band
Who fought and bled in Freedom's cause,
Who fought and bled in Freedom's cause,
And when the storm of war was gone,
Enjoy'd the peace your valor won.
Let independence be our boast,
Ever mindful what it cost,
Ever grateful for the prize,
Let its altar reach the skies
Firm, united let us be,
Rallying round our liberty,
As a band of brothers join'd
Peace and safety we shall find.
Sound, sound the trump of fame,
Let Washington's great fame
Ring through the world with loud applause,
Ring through the world with loud applause,
Let ev'ry clime to freedom dear,
Listen with a joyful ear,
With equal skill, with God-like pow'r
He governs in the fearful hour
Of horrid war, or guides with ease
The happier time of honest peace.
-Philip Phile and Joseph Hopkinson
