- The United States Army Field Band performs the famous Civil War-era piece, "The Battle Hymn of the Republic."
Lyrics: Julia Ward Howe
Music: William Steffe
Setting: Peter J. Wilhousky
Arrangement: James Neilson
Conductor: 1st Lt. Alexandra Borza
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.
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.

"As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free." The best lyrics of all time.
It’s incredibly powerful.
idiot lyric if it is about an imaginary friend that never helps, just ask the families of the million+ dead from covid.
Do you really feel that way? It is good to know that the U S has not alienated everyone. Sometimes it's hard for me to feel that way.
@The Last Crusade so 2 million ok
Amazing as they sing powerfully *The Battle Hymn of the Republic*
Its said when Abraham Lincoln was first played this, he broke into tears. Completely understandable
The man who sang it was Charles McCabe, an Army chaplain. It was at a meeting of the Christian Commission in the Capitol Building. Chaplain McCabe was born and raised in Athens, Ohio. We are now trying to raise funds to put up an historical marker near his birthplace. The story is that Lincoln stood up with a tear in his eye, and said to McCabe, "Sing it again."
Never happened.
@@thebeaz1 Well I’ve contacted several nationally known music historians who say the story is well documented. So, I’m in a quandary about this: do I believe them, or an anonymous poster on the Internet? It’s quite a dilemma! ;-)
@@CarlDenbow choose your historians carefully.
@@thebeaz1 I do!
I am not american, I'm a Brit, but I love the way you revere your Armed forces and respect those who serve. Our 2 countries have been through so much together, and we'll continue to stand together as friends and allies. May God bless America, and May He bless the special relationship that prevails between the USA and the UK.
Thank you, brother. I consider our Commonwealth friends to be like family.
@bobhutton1409. As an American, we appreciate our allies and their support. The Commonwealth needs more solidarity also in modern times, I'm just thinking about the future. May Christ bless the UK and the USA and you, sir always in all ways 😇.
About that tax on the tea.........
My dad was stationed at the 8th U.S. Army-Air Force Headquarters outside of Cambridge, England, during World War II, so his stories were how I came to love the British people.
We may have not always been friends but that doesn't we can't be now. The fact is, we are now and will continue to be in the future.
He died to make men Holy, let us died to make men free!!!
Best line:
"As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free!"
except that liberalism can't free anyone anymore, for it fails to see the totality of capital as the real enemy of freedom.
The modern variant amongst the more liberal set is to make it less war like by changing that line to read. "As He died to make men holy, let us live to make men free"
Im neither murican nor religious, and i also dont QUITE like how this line could be used for evil....
...but man, it is a powerful line.
Its a Biblical Christian context: “Jesus died on the cross to free us from the bondage of sin.”
John Brown believed God had chosen him to destroy slavery and died trying to attack the Slavery Capital of Kansas, he was and is a hero for his belief in freedom for all races
I'm Greek. My Granddad fought against the reich and was imprisoned in Mauhthausen, Austria in WW2. He was freed by the US. Troops. God Bless America. Much love from Hellas
Nothing but respect for the Greeks. Without your philosophers the ideals and our way of life would of never existed. Without your ancestors bravery against tyrants, we not of had the example to follow in the defense of democracy and justice. Thank you for what your country gave us and gave the world.
The thing the Nazis hated more than the Jews were those who fought against them. I have have heard it said by a survivor that ' Auschwitz was a holiday camp compared to the hell that was Mauthausen!'. God bless your brave grandad. True hero!
@New Car Smell bro what
God bless you, my Greek friend
My great uncle died in Greece fighting those bastards! NZ his sacrifice must not be for nothing!
My great great grandfather walked the Trail of Tears to Indian Territory when he was 7 yrs old. His mother died at the hands of the US Army along the way. They lost everything and he and his father started life all over. His Faith kept him strong and when The Civil War broke out, he found Forgiveness, joined the North and fought in The Indian Homeguard. My family always looks back to the hard way of finding Forgiveness that he must had come to terms with. We are Indians. But, we are nobody's victim! God Bless your spirit, Grandpa John.
Love
Freedom isn't free such history your family has there was a movie many years ago "Glory" it was about a black Regiment during the Civil War. Was a great movie. I'll see if the library has it. Would love to see it again. The music was beautiful.
God bless you and your family and their family and their family for a thousand generations.
Great character! We are all Americans!

Tears fell from this Vietnam veteran's eyes. listening to this wonderful performance--- makes me proud I served my country, and the memory of my friend and comrade Walter Soutar who got killed over there will remain in my heart and soul forever till I join him..

My great grandfather, a veteran of the Second World War. This was his favorite song. May he Rest In Peace.
Godbless him, hes a true hero
What was his thoughts on his black countrymen risking their lives in the war?
He always talked about his personal time in the war. He never spoke about stuff like that. But I know he would of cared for them. He’s not racist.

As a Aussie this still gives me goosebumps thank you to all American's that died defending my country
Because we know that you and the rest of the free world would do the same for us. God bless you 🇺🇸 ❤️ 🇦🇺
Aussies are the realest friends america has. Only ones that came to Vietnam even if it was a bad war. Not even the Canadians or Brits. We remember big homie. Love to you down under
Yeah. Aussies always down for a scrap. And to this day they never forgot what the First Marine Division did for them when all their boys were tied up across the world.
Stay vigilant Aussies. Fascism is once again on the rise and as you may have seen in America's politics, it's now closer to empowering itself in a way that will be very difficult to stop. They're being quietly funded by some very wealthy and powerfully connected industries that see fascism and a complicit dictator preferable to working within a democracy. I'm sure these same fascist forces are working behind the scenes there in Australia as well. God bless you guys. You've always had our backs. This time it may be the Australians that save America.
Don't forget a lot of Aussies died defending Australia too. I've read a lot about your pilots flying p 40s. They were brave and kicked some a___.to.
My late husband would sing this on road trips. It was played at his funeral and we all stood and sang the chorus. He loved God and served his Country. He was marching into Glory. I treasure the flag given to me that day. God bless America. May his Truth live on in USA. Edited May 14, 2023. Live on all over the globe.
He sounds like a wonderful man :) I sure am glad I can say I live under the same flag as he did. God bless you both.

My brother was a Civil War reenactor and a member of the Pennsylvania Army National Guard who passed away in Afghanistan while in service to his country.

My great great grandfather Theodore C. Altman served at age 17 in the 59th Ohio Volunteer Infantry Company H in the army of the Cumberland. Fought and wounded at Shiloh, His brother Jacob Altman was KIA on day 2 of Shiloh. He would come back shockingly from being wounded, and fight from Missionary Ridge in Chattanooga all the way to Atlanta. Our family have served in every war this country has been in, I am a dual veteran of the Navy and Army myself. 13 years total, my nephew is currently in the 173rd and we haven’t seen him since Dec 2019, he’s been stationed in Germany, hearing this makes me proud of all of our sacrifices, including all my brothers and sisters in Uniform, I believe things will get rough in the future, but if we can come back together, nothing can stop us or this country. Division is how the enemies of this great country win.

Thank you for your words and service in the Army. Both are critical to our country
Last time we were this divided, the Democrats were complaining about freeing their slaves. Republicans kicked Democrat ass in the last civil war, and Republicans will kick Democrat ass again in the next civil war.
Thank you for your service.
I’m just a Swedish guy who has enormous respect for the US and would wish to become an american one day.
I praise my almighty God for being born a American. I served three years in the US Army and my only wish is that I could do it again do it again, but I am 70 years old and I don’t think that there would be a use for me😊

All I can say Goose Bumps!🇺🇸

I am an Air Force brat myself, my dad is a retired Master Sergeant(saw combat in Vietnam) , my grandfather was in the Navy(saw combat in the Atlantic in WW2), my cousin also a retired Master Sergeant in the Air Force(saw combat in the Middle East), and I am one step closer to joining the Air Force as a nurse. This song is beautiful and brings a tear to my eye!
@@koz8319😮😅 2:42
@@koz8319 Same. Air Force brat myself. My father was in Vietnam and the first Persian Gulf war. One of my uncle was in the Air Force and the other in the Army. My grandfather was in the Army and fought in the Battle of the Bulge in WWII. HIs brothers was in the Navy the the other one in the Marines. I was in the Army for 9 years did two tours in Iraq. My oldest nephew went into the Air Force not too long ago. This song represents the courage and what we have gone through to make this country and to continue to make it free.
My grandfather lied about his age and joined the United States Army at the age of 14. He served this country for 44 years before he retired. I remember him playing this song all the time while I was growing up and even up until his last days. This song reminds me of my him every time I hear it. He was always proud of his military career, but most of all, we were proud of him.
My grandad did the same during WW2. He was 14, ran away from home and lied about his age to join the merchant marines. They eventually found out and sent him back home mid-deployment. He then lied again and joined the 82nd airborne division of the army. That generation is called the greatest for a reason. They saw things you and I can't even imagine at that age. Like most vets he never liked to talk about the war.
🧢
you are proud of him!!!! ;)
I look forward to the day when I can shake his hand and thank him for his service! What a man!!
My grandfather was 35 in 1942 and denied entry into the military. He was so upset he decided to become a shipyard welder in Baltimore and helped to make Liberty ships. He may not have realized what he was getting into as the workload at times was nearly unbearable and he was required to work around the clock for weeks on end. But he never complained and would actually volunteer to cover every need. My grandparents also volunteered to house visiting sailors from Allied countries while their ships were being repaired. They made lifelong friendships with several British sailors this way. A different time and a different attitude. True American patriots. God Bless them, may they rest in peace. So glad they didn't have to witness the insurrection in our nations capital with treasonous members of the Far Right actually daring to carry Nazi Reichskriegsflaggen, swastikas and confederate flags side-by-side with the American flag.

I hope that China may one day be free. We thought we were doing a really great thing by developing China into an economic powerhouse and upliting hundreds of millions out of poverty. The idea was that economic freedom would inevitably lead to political freedom. Instead, it has just empowered a monstrous regime. We are deeply sorry.

The conflict that he heralded he looks down from heaven to view, on the army of the union with it's flag red white and blue, and the heavens will ring with anthems o'er the dead they mean to do, and his soul still marches on
Glory hallelujah x3 and his soul still marches on
Ye soldiers of freedom then strike while strike ye may, the death blow of oppression in a better time and way, for the dawn of old john brown has brightened in to day and his soul still marches on.
"Jesus was sent here to die for us, John brown wasn't, and he did it anyway" though the battle hymn republic is a beautiful song, john brown's body was the song the soldiers marched to, the taking of harpers ferry and hanging of john brown was the catalyst of the civil war, we should never forget what he sacrificed for the good of mankind.
Yet they say we are not a christian nation, WE ARE, they might try to suppress that and say its post Christian but you cant remove the soul, imprinted on the heart, the natural law of the Holy Trinity, it lives in all of us even if they force us to silance the truth, while they try to cloth them selves in rightousness yet act as wicked do. you dont have to belive what I belive but the Truth is the truth even if denied.
amen

My father had two bombing missions on D-Day and survived the remaining years of WW II. In his later years he played this song every morning. One can only imagine what it meant to him emotionally. Carry on America!
My father, a WWII veteran, went on his final mission last night.
From the rolling hills of his boyhood farm to the struggles in the South Pacific theater or throughout his life, dad never complained. Whether it be walking behind the plow, enduring the eternity of "forever" being soaked in the jungles of the Philippines or the machine and labor work he found himself in throughout his career, dad stayed focused on the job breaking stride only for the meal at hand or an allotted water reprieve.
You ask "how do I know he was like this in the times when I did not even exist"....? Being with him through the days and months and years that we had together is evidence enough, for me.
He WAS part of the generation that gave
l i f e and m e a n i n g to the words - FREEDOM and SACRIFICE.
It is tough, realizing the fact that I can no longer speak to him and give him a hug and say "I love you", here. Yet, as the last song he sang with my sister the day before he went Home says,
"Glory, Glory Hallelujah ......HIS truth is marching on" - it speaks of hope - in the 'One Faithful and True', rest - with a "peace that passes a l l understanding" and a courage - to fulfill the call of lifting high the banner of the One and True Living God, who sustained dads march through this life of 97 years - Jesus Christ.
Rest well dad. Until I too cross unto the golden shores.
We thank and remember all of the heroes, like your father, who have fought bravely in service to this country. May he rest in peace.
Thank you for your Dad's Selfless Service to Our Country~ Giving FREEDOM for us ALL 🇺🇸🙏
That was truly the greatest generation and your Dad and my Daddy were part of it. I am so sorry for your loss. No matter how long God allows us to have them it’s still so hard to say goodbye for now. I lost my Daddy in 2016 and it’s still tough. But I know he’s with Jesus and Mom and I will be too when my time comes. My Daddy served in the Navy and so I thank both him and your Dad for their service.
@@lindarutherford1127 Thank you for your kind words and also to your father for his service.
In these ‘interesting’ times, may I say nefarious times - the one fixed point of reference that gives the only true hope is this ONE Faithful and True who will come riding on His white horse to redeem His people and defeat the adversary.
I pray for those who are in despair because of not knowing Him.
May the Lord bless you and your family.

Especially during these troubled times where liberals and conservatives are shitting on each other.I hope that in the future,instead of putting our differences aside,we should understand them and meet in the middle.And hopefully have a future president that will be in the middle of all that.
A "face" or a "farce" ?
@@BornotB-ij9xk I understand what you meant in your comment but I hope you understand what your really seeing in this conflict. The U.S. has been sold out by some very evil doers masked as liberals but I assure you they are anything but. Have you failed to notice how "radical" these groups have become? How hateful they are? Those are not Americans those are your enemy who've sold you out and wish to see your destruction. America has always had enemies just because we now do not face them on the field of battle as you understand it does in no way mean we are not at war. Did you think our enemies just quit? No they changed tactics and have infuriated our land. Wake up and you will see. Look who wears a mask and who doesn't. Look who lies to you daily about what you know is true and not what you saw on T.V. I wish you well and hope you heed my advice.
menotplaying I honestly feel like it will take centuries for the U.S as a country to have a “middle” (as you call it) president. If both sides had a buffer of some sort it would make all the different
This collection of voices at this moment in time is something to truly cherish.
May it serve to all those who march onward and upward.
Beautiful song. Happy 4th of July to all those who fight for our freedom!! May the blessings of our holy God be multiplied unto you!!

As a black person who grew up in black churches (specifically AME) this songs always moves me to tears. We used to always sing this song during black history month.
It always gives me chills when I think of all those men who despite being scared, and knowing they could meet death, were driven to preserve the union and free the millions held in bondage in the south because they felt it was the right thing to do. Just leaves me speechless
Does the song move you to tears because you are a black person growing up in black churches or because of its historical significance? The politicians and media have now convinced seemingly everybody to view things through a racial lens. What is a “white woman of color” and what’s up with all the weird, improper capitalizations? I’m convinced people are getting dumber.
The song is historically significant because the civil war was killing Americans on both sides. All casualties were Americans. This started a much needed transformation in America that ultimately led to where we are today. You know, back to prefacing thoughts with racial qualifications. This woke shit is going to lead to another civil war. How horrific is that? Your second paragraph is perfect without the preface. The second comment is just a woke ass liberal who offered nothing significant but peddles the woke crap currently dividing our society. We’re screwed if this stuff continues.
@Nnam thank you for your service! On our way home from our family vacation yesterday, we drove through Philadelphia, MS. So this morning I’m watching “Mississippi Burning” in tears. It’s so hard to watch what taught hatred does to people. It’s so sickening and gut wrenching to believe this was America. Sadly, it’s reminding me of the hate that #45 is still shouting out to his worshipers😢 Learning how close we came to losing our nation to a wanna be tyrant/dictator/king is making this 4th of July a somber and reflective holiday. Praise the Lord for the ppl who kept their oath and didn’t sell out to #45’s schemes. What is up with the White Woman of Color reference? I agree about the woke crap. The extremes on both sides are dangerous.
Thank you for your comment❤️
You should check out the original version of this song, "John Brown's body".
John Brown by William W. Patton
Old John Brown’s body lies moldering in the grave,
While weep the sons of bondage whom he ventured all to save;
But tho he lost his life while struggling for the slave,
His soul is marching on.
John Brown was a hero, undaunted, true and brave,
And Kansas knows his valor when he fought her rights to save;
Now, tho the grass grows green above his grave,
His soul is marching on.
He captured Harper’s Ferry, with his nineteen men so few,
And frightened "Old Virginny" till she trembled thru and thru;
They hung him for a traitor, themselves the traitor crew,
But his soul is marching on.
John Brown was John the Baptist of the Christ we are to see,
Christ who of the bondmen shall the Liberator be,
And soon thruout the Sunny South the slaves shall all be free,
For his soul is marching on.
The conflict that he heralded he looks from heaven to view,
On the army of the Union with its flag red, white and blue.
And heaven shall ring with anthems o’er the deed they mean to do,
For his soul is marching on.
Ye soldiers of Freedom, then strike, while strike ye may,
The death blow of oppression in a better time and way,
For the dawn of old John Brown has brightened into day,
And his soul is marching on.
@@unknownpersonofnointerest2743 I don’t think he’s trying to be woke bro. He’s just sharing his experience and him being black is relevant to a song about the civil war. You felt the need to call him out for being “woke” when he comment clearly wasn’t meant that way. Maybe it’s you making everything about race. And you call liberals the snowflakes

"The Battle Hymn of the Republic" was written during the Civil War by abolitionist writer " Julia Ward Howe" on the morning of November 18,1861. Today it is one of the most iconic patriotic songs in United States history. Christ died to make men holy, let us die to make men free, while God is marching on... God Bless the United States of America for the Bible says in Psalm 33:12: " Blessed in the nation whose God is the Lord (Jesus Christ), the people He chose for His inheritance." Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! God's Truth is Marching On!
Christ did not die. He was murdered by the government. There is a huge difference.
@@rudenssinjari73 He was murdered for standing up to the injustices of his society in order to improve conditions for minorities and all people downtrodden by society. It would be great if so-called christians paid attention to all that...
@@secretforreddit I'm pretty sure you are wrong. Jesus Christ our Lord gave his life in order to spare our lives from God. God was going to wipe the Earth clean of all man kind because he did not like what we have become. Jesus Christ paid for your sins so that you could live. The only way to Heaven is to ask for forgiveness through Jesus Christ.
@@danielscott9769 God promised Noah that he would never again try to wipe the Earth clean of humanity after the flood; to biblical scholars, this promise is known as the Berit, a concept best translated as God's promise to never again punish humanity in such a way and to trust them with their own salvation. When things became particularly bad, God sent his son in human form to die for the sins of humanity, therefore requiring only one human to die and therefore continuing to fulfill the Berit. I have taken an extraordinary amount of theological courses, and I can assure you that you are incorrect in your assertion that Jesus gave his life to stop God from destroying all of humanity.
@@secretforreddit @Daniel Scott both of you are wrong. Jesus never claimed to be working to alleviate worldly suffering, John 15:18-25 18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. 20 Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. 21 They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 Whoever hates me hates my Father as well. 24 If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. 25 But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated me without reason.’" and especially not to entrust us with our own salvation, unless I am misinterpreting what you're saying. John 14:6 "I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the father but through me". nor did he do it because he would make God mad and destroy humanity, as secret forreddit has already mentioned. The orthodox (not the denomination, I am using the literal sense of the word) view on the crucifixion is to enable the synthesis of God's mercy and justice, by taking the punishment of the sin of mankind upon himself. I would like to hear your opinion on this given your theological background.

USA is a human nation, therefore it’s not perfect. However, USA has the ability to improve itself over time if it so chooses. Our Republic and it’s citizens have a good feel for right vs wrong and we are allowed to express ourselves freely and exercise power to correct our national course. A big problem we have is that we stopped heeding the words of our first President after WW2, which was to stay out of foreign entanglements.
The American Republic was never designed to field military bases all over the world, nor was it designed to handle imperial ambitions and colonies. We were designed to be an isolated self-reliant Federal Union of Semi-Sovereign Nation States governed by Republican Virtues and defended by patriotic God fearing free citizen-soldiers serving in regulated state militias. Free Civic-minded citizens whom can speak their minds freely, keep and bare their own arms, own property, and pursue their own happiness. Like Rome (a federation of Republican city-states interestingly enough), US became an empire by accident.
I honor our servicemen and women who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. I thank them for their sacrifices, they are real heroes and I am thankful beyond words for them. However, we never should have been there in the first place. It was a strategic mistake that quite frankly only benefited China. Saudi Arabia and I suspect China were the main players behind 9/11. Our unnecessary entanglement in foreign affairs is how we ended up there. It’s what cost the lives of so many good American heroes.
The Petro-Dollar system, international finance/cheap debt consumerism, and our taking up the mantle of world police is what has caused most of our current problems, including our slow moral decline. There is fair criticism there.
However, USA doesn’t deserve to collapse. Very few nations in history have handled the degree of relative power we have amassed since WW2 as gracefully and as benevolently as ours. For example, Canada and Mexico are still sovereign nations, the Japanese and Germans are still a people, and instead of attempting to conquer the world we have attempted to build a peaceful union of sovereign prosperous nations to stand besides us. Most hegemonic nations do no such thing. With half of the world’s GDP, more manufacturing power than all other nations combined, and as the only nuclear power in the immediate aftermath of WW2, we could have conquered most of the world if we had so chosen in the late 1940s. Most nations similarly positioned would have made that move. The Soviets obviously would have. My source for this claim is pretty much all of recorded human history.
If the dark day ever comes where the PRC or Russia run the world, I very much suspect the world will miss our era of hegemony. As the expression here goes, you don’t know what you got till it’s gone.
USA is an exceptional nation, I’m proud to be an American, and I love my country. I know America will recover from this and will have another Great Awakening. I believe in my fellow citizens. Both on the left and on the right. It may take some hard times for us, but America still has a destiny and good to do for the world. It’s a real shame to see Americans such as yourself having such a negative opinion of their own country.
