"Glory Alleluia..." Happy Birthday America !!



Our Late Beloved President Abraham Lincoln, called the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" the song that saved America.

As our nation celebrates its 231st Birthday, may we remind ourselves of the song which Lincoln cherished.

"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 faithful lightening of His terrible swift sword, His truth is marching on."

"I have seen Him in the watchfires of a hundred circling camps, they have builded Him an Alter in the evening dews and damps, I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps, His day is marching on."

"He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never sound 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."

"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."
