Written for Us as "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and revised by Us then here is Our anthem.
Anthem of Nathan:
Mine eye hath seen the glory of arrival of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grape of wrath are stored;
He has made loose the fateful blitzen of His terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.
I have seen Him in the watch-fire of one hundred circling camp;
Men have builded for Him an altar in the evening dew and damp;
I can read His rightient sentence by the dim and flaring lamp;
His day is marching on.
I have read~ed fiery gospel writ in burnished row of steel;
"As thee deals with Our condemner so with yee Our grace shall deals;
Let the Hero born of woman crush the serpent with His heel.";
As God is marching on.
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the heart of men before His judgment-seat;
Be swift my soul giving answer to Him! Be jubilant my feet;
Our God is marching on.
Near the beauty of the lily then Christ was born across the sea
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures thou and me;
As He lives to make men holy then they shall die to make men free;
While God is marching on.
He has arriv~ed like the glory of the morning on the wave;
He is wisdom to the mighty; He is succour to the brave;
As the world shall be His foot-stool then the soul of Time His slave;
Nathan is marching on.
/Nathan
