THE OPENING HYMN
The Battle Hymn of the Republic
#572
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.
Refrain
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
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 the righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps; His day is marching on. Refrain
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat; He is sifting out the hearts of all before his judgment seat; O be swift, my soul, to answer him; be jubilant, my feet! Our God is marching on. Refrain
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 us holy, let us die that all be free! While God is marching on. Refrain
THE PRAYER OF INVOCATION
THE CHORAL RESPONSE
There is a sweet anointing in the sanctuary, there is a stillness in the atmosphere, o come lay down the burdens you have carried, for in the sanctuary; God is here, Oh come lay down the burdens you have carried, for in the sanctuary; God is here.
