THE FLAG-BEARER

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.

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.

He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never beat 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.

—Julia Ward Howe.
