SHE FLUNG IT TO THE WINDS OF HEAVEN AND PRAYED THAT IT MIGHT EVER WAVE ABOVE A GREAT AND MIGHTY NATION- ABOVE A PEOPLE FREE AND BRAVE." BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC 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 loos'd the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword : His truth is marching on. I have seen Him in the watch flres 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. I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel : "As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal:" Let the Hero born of woman crush the serpent with his heel. Since God is marching on. He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call 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. In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea. With a 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. Chorus Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Halleluiah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on. Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His day is marching on. Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Since God is marching on. Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Our God is marching on. Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! While God is marching on. RITUAL READING We meet to honor the memory of our Ancestors, to renew the pledge of loyalty to our country and our flag, and to emphasize the privilege and duty of patriotism. But the earth hath He given to the children of men. Realizing that the safety of our country lies in the intelligence, moral character, and patriotism of her citi- zens, and that the home is where these elements can best be fostered, our solemn duty is to keep the altar fires of alTection and love blazing on our hearth-stones, thus continuing a nation of happy homes — the highest type of Heaven. And for this ive give our hands, our heads, our hearts, to our God, our country, and our flag. ONE GOD, ONE COUNTRY, AND ONE FLAG.
