The Battle Hymn of Republic

(Récité) Si un jour tu fais le tour des États-Unis

Tu verras que Dieu s'est donné beaucoup de peine
Pour mettre sur la terre américaine
Autant de couleurs de peau
Que d'étoiles à un drapeau
Mais les gens du Sud ont fait la Guerre aux gens du Nord
Et l'on en parle encore !

1/ 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 !

2/ I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel
"As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel
Since God is marching on"

R/ Glory ! Glory ! Hallelujah !
Glory ! Glory ! Hallelujah !
Glory ! Glory ! Hallelujah !
His truth is marching on !

3/ 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 !

R/ Glory ! Glory ! Hallelujah !
Glory ! Glory ! Hallelujah !
Glory ! Glory ! Hallelujah !
His truth is marching on !

R/ Glory ! Glory ! Hallelujah !
Glory ! Glory ! Hallelujah !
Glory ! Glory ! Hallelujah !
His truth is marching on !
His truth is marching on !
