Happy 4th of July! Our return to the Sanctuary was a great success with the number of attendees not in the Sanctuary in the single-digits. Thank you all for your support.

Battle Hymn of the Republic

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.

Chorus:

Glory! glory! Hallelujah!

His truth is marching on!

I have seen Him in the watchfires of a hundred circling camps,

They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;

I can read His rightrous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps,

His day is marching on.

[Chorus]

He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat,

He is sifting our the hearts of men before His judgement seat;

O be swift, my soul, to answer Him, be jubilant, my feet!

Our God is marching on.

[Chorus]

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,

With a glory in His being that transfigures you and me;

As He died to make men holy let us live to make men free!

While God is marching on.

[Chorus]
