Our God is Marching on. by Wm. Steffe — Lyrics

VERSE 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. VERSE 2 I have seen Him in the watchfires 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. VERSE 3 He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat; He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat; O be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet! Our God is marching on.

About Our God is Marching on.

"Our God is Marching on" is a triumphant hymn of divine victory and justice. With its steady, driving rhythm and vivid imagery of trumpets, watch-fires, and a "terrible swift sword," the song paints a picture of God moving powerfully through the world. For a choir, the piece demands strong, rhythmic singing that carries the congregation along, building in intensity with every verse.

In many Nigerian parishes, this hymn is a favourite choice for the recessional procession. As the Mass concludes and the clergy process out, the resounding chorus of "Glory, glory, Hallelujah!" sends the faithful forth with a sense of courage and purpose. The familiar melody makes it easy for the entire church to join in, lifting their voices to declare that God's truth and presence are actively marching ahead of them into the week.
