126 MASSACHUSETTS JOHN BROWN SONG.
" Thou soul the altar under, white-robed by martyrdom !
Thy cry, • How long, 0 Lord ? ' no longer finds me dumb ;
' Come forth !' calls Christ, ' the year of my redeemed is come' —
His soul is marching on !
" And ye on earth, my army ! tread down God's
grapes till blood Unto your horses' bridles hath out His wine-press
flowed! The day of vengeance dawns, — the day of wrath
of God " —
His soul is marching on !
His sacrifice we slay ! our sword shall victory crown ! For God and country strike the fiend Rebellion
down ! For Freedom and the Right remember Old John Brown !
His soul is marching on! "Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!" Sings that army in the skies; " Glory to the Lord, our Captain!"
His army here replies. Glory rings through heaven's arches, |
