Lyrics:
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
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 live to make men free
While God is marching on
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
While God is marching on
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
While God is marching on

dear Mr McDermott. I am from cape town south africa and had much irish religious influence in my childhood; catholic priests nuns brothers and learned many of the songs you sing, I lost my dad 3 years ago and heard your song the old man, on the radio last week, this was the first time I'd heard your voice. Wow! how beautiful, you are blessed with an amazing gift. I teared up listening to the emotion and truths you sang. well i have memorised the song and will enjoy the memories forever. thank you, I then looked up all your songs and have listened to most. my dad loved the bagpipes and I did not know there were words to scotland the brave. I think I have it almost memorised. but your Danny Boy was the absolute best rendition I have ever heard. Thank you, thank you...keep up the good work. regards Sean Adams

I love that he performs this as a marching song, which is was - a battle hymn in ever sense of the word. It is almost impossible to find it performed as anything but a dirge today.

I know I commented 2 years ago, but I have to say, and I hope Mr. McDermott can one day see this, that I have seen many versions of this Hymn, but I have NEVER seen a better one! I still get chills up and down my spine when the women appear in the Scottish Tartans. I am part Scotch myself, and to me this is a clear indication that this song is not meant only for the United States, nor should it be seen only as a Civil War song. It is a Christian Hymn that I think is meant for the world. Thank you for giving me this excellent version, sir!

What a wonderful, powerful rendition of a song most closely associated with the Union Army during the U.S. Civil War! That was a bloody, hard-fought war. The result of it was that the Union was once again intact and, more importantly, slavery was ended in the U.S.! They literally did "live to make men free."

The original lyrics, penned in November, 1861 by Julia Ward Howe in the Willard Hotel, two blocks from the White House, came to her in the middle of the night. She arose from her bed, and immediately put them to paper lest she fall back asleep and forget them. They were her lyrics, put to the music of the abolitionist song, "John Brown's Body Lies A-mouldering In his Grave." And they were, "As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free." To change the lyrics takes them out of this great historic context.

I am a devoted fan of John's and this is a beautiful rendition but those men DO NOT KNOW HOW TO MARCH. Look how sloppily they move. That is not the sort of military precision any good soldiers would ever be allowed to display. A minor goof, perhaps, but since the guys were on the stage to dramatize the song, somebody should have made sure they got it right!

The show ruins the message, too bad. The modernity gave us the wrong line : Let us live to make men free. The original reads : let us die to make men free. The logic of the original is immanent.

@DarthAverage 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, the original lyric was a reference to the Civil War then raging. However, since we are no longer fighting a war to free a captive people from bondage and slavery, the rewritten lyric makes more sense - "Let us live our lives in such a way that leads to increased freedom for everyone".

@wfuller1907 6 жыл бұрын

Substituting "live" for "die" destroys the entire message of the song, betrays the author's intent, and castrates a motivationally strong battle song, mutating it into a weak, cowardly excuse of a song so that it ends up as more of a whine than anything else. I would be ashamed to perform it as it is here presented.
