      the song strikes me as thankfulness to God for peace as a result of war. a yearning for peace, even. in a way, I think it comes off stronger in the modern era, where the mechanisms and machines of war, both psychological and physical are far beyond our comprehension.

    I am from the UK and I am doing everything I can to get the right to be US citizen. For as long as I remember, I always wanted to live in that beautiful country. Even though I have never been, I feel like my soul wants to go back. Everytime I listen to the Battle hymn, I imagine myself finally getting the citizenship, sitting by a campfire in the mid west with the cool breeze blowing over my face. This composition always puts a smile on my face and gives me so much motivation to keep trying. I hope that GOD lets me fulfill my greates dream. God bless America.

    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
    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 His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps
    His day is marching on.
    Glory, glory, hallelujah!
    Glory, glory, hallelujah!
    Glory, glory, hallelujah!
    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
    Glory, glory, hallelujah!
    Glory, glory, hallelujah!
    Glory, glory, hallelujah!
    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
    Glory, glory, hallelujah!
    Glory, glory, hallelujah!
    Glory, glory, hallelujah!
    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
    Glory, glory, hallelujah!

      The lyrics are so beautiful. I have always loved this hymn. Growing up in neutral Colorado where we just love God and America, then I moved to the south and people are all up-in-arms against this song! It's so frustrating. Aren't the God-glorifying lyrics more important than whatever cultural implications the song might have? I still love Dixie Land, can't I love this song too, just for what it is? It's just a good hymn. Hope southern Christians will understand why I love this hymn and not try to force me to associate it with the war history like they do.

Since they moved our many years ago they donated two of their player pianos and so it’s been ages ago since I once again listened to it even though I have pulsated tinnitus brought by a sinus infection that spread to my Eustachian tube.

      It is possible that the player piano version might not be playable by hand. Look at the spread on the keyboard at many points. These rolls were recorded by special mechanical piano machinery. The performer would often stop and add notes they could not get with their hands.

      Elements were taken from the German folk song “Im Wald im grünen wälde” and “John Brown’s body”. Which isn’t surprising considering most of the classically liberal German nationalists and German immigrants in general fled to the US in the 1850s/1860s after the failed 1848 coup, just in time for the American Civil War. Also most of those Germans were abolitionists and vehemently anti-slavery so one of those German 48’ers probably gave American abolitionists and Julia Ward Howe the tune.

    When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run
    There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun
    Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one
    But the union makes us strong
    Solidarity forever
    Solidarity forever
    Solidarity forever
    For the union makes us strong
    It is we who plowed the prairies, built the cities where they trade
    Dug the mines and built the workshops, endless miles of railroad laid
    Now we stand outcast and starving midst the wonders we have made
    But the union makes us strong
    Solidarity forever
    Solidarity forever
    Solidarity forever
    For the union makes us strong
    They have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn
    But without our brain and muscle not a single wheel can turn
    We can break their haughty power, gain our freedom when we learn
    That the union makes us strong
    Solidarity forever
    Solidarity forever
    Solidarity forever
    For the union makes us strong
    In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold
    Greater than the might of atoms, magnified a thousand fold
    We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old
    For the union makes us strong
    Solidarity forever
    Solidarity forever
    Solidarity forever
    For the union makes us strong

    There used to be a certain version of this song that served as the national anthem for a Minecraft server I once had. It was called UZSPA (United Zesty and Sussy Provinces of Albertopolis)
    Mine eyes have seen the glory of Lord Fabian the Fest.
    He is fabbing with much power just to prove that he’s the best.
    Since we’ve started back in ’22, the past has been the rest.
    Our glory’s marching on!
    Albertopolis forever!
    Albertopolis shall live forever more.
    Albertopolis forever!
    Our glory’s marching on!
    Our Mother Albertopolis of players who all would,
    Lay their lives down in Survival, give them honor as you should!
    We’d be meeting up together at Hotel of Oak and Wood,
    And we’ll all be marching on!
    Albertopolis forever!
    Albertopolis shall live forever more.
    Albertopolis forever!
    Our glory’s marching on!
    It is we who started strong and with the villagers did trade.
    Countless blocks placed Kai and Aiden; endless rails Alberto laid.
    Johann and Madison would join and lots of memories were made.
    Our glory’s marching on!
    Albertopolis forever!
    Albertopolis shall live forever more.
    Albertopolis forever!
    Our glory’s marching on!
    Then on Independence Day came inaccessibility,
    And upon said bad disaster, Bert said “Oh my woe is me!”
    But it lives deep in our hearts and also in our memories,
    It keeps on marching on!
    Albertopolis forever!
    Albertopolis shall live forever more.
    Albertopolis forever!
    Our glory’s marching on!
