With

Hilda Flores

This week’s song is “Battle Hymn of the Republic”.

Mine eyes have seen the glo-ry of the com-ing of the Lord:

He is tramp-ling out the vint-age where the grapes of wrath are stor’d;

He hath loos’d the fate-ful light-ning of His ter-ri-ble swift sword:

His truth is march-ing on.

Glo-ry, glo-ry, hal-le-lu-jah!

His truth is march-ing on.
