Julia Ward Howe
>> "The Battle Hymn of the Republic"

New York City born poet, travel writer, Union sympathizer and Christian Julia Ward Howe was living in Boston, Massachusetts when she wrote the "hymn" in 1861, influenced by biblical passages. In the video her great-great-great-grandson talks about her inspiration to write the song at around 4 AM with the thought as she returned to bed that she had produced something wonderful.

In the videos the chorus words "glory, glory, hallelujah" are sung. Below are the words of the "hymn" as published February 1862 on the cover of The Atlantic Monthly.

>> The Atlantic Monthly

The 1862 sheet music begins with the chorus:

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah

(Hallelu = "praise", Jah (or Yah) = "He Is" = Praise Yah = Praise He [who] Is)

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

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

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.

He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him, be jubilant my feet!

Our God 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

The original manuscript had a 6th verse:

He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave
He is wisdom to the mighty, he is succour to the brave
So the world shall be his footstool, and the soul of time his slave

Our God is marching on

George F. Root
(lyricist 1861)
>> The Battle Cry of Freedom

Also known as Rally Round the Flag
with the chorus: The Union Forever

George F. Root was a professional songwriter who wrote these three popular songs:

_The Battle Cry of Freedom
_Tramp! Tramp! Tramp!
_On, On, On, the Boys Came Marching!

The melody of Jesus Loves The Little Children was borrowed by a Chicago preacher from George Root's song Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! It was intended to be a popular song written during the civil war era (1861-1865) in support of the Union forever point of view.

The Battle Cry of Freedom

(1)
Yes, we'll rally round the flag, boys
We'll rally once again
Shouting the battle cry of freedom

We will rally from the hillside
We'll gather from the plain
Shouting the battle cry of freedom

CHORUS:
The Union forever
Hurrah, boys, hurrah
Down with the traitor
Up with the stars

While we rally round the flag, boys
Rally once again
Shouting the battle cry of freedom

(2)
We are springing to the call
Of our brothers gone before
Shouting the battle cry of freedom

And we'll fill the vacant ranks
With a million freemen more
Shouting the battle cry of freedom

CHORUS:
The Union forever
Hurrah, boys, hurrah
Down with the traitor
Up with the stars

While we rally round the flag, boys
Rally once again
Shouting the battle cry of freedom

(3)
We are marching to the field, boys
We're going to the fight
Shouting the battle cry of freedom

And we bear the glorious stars
For the Union and the right
Shouting the battle cry of freedom

CHORUS:
The Union forever,
Hurrah, boys, hurrah
Down with the traitor
Up with the stars

While we rally round the flag, boys
Rally once again
Shouting the battle cry of freedom

Here is one verse of On, On, On, the Boys Came Marching!:

On, on, on, the boys came marching like a grand majestic sea
And they dashed away the guard from the heavy iron door
And we stood beneath the starry banner free

Here are the original words of
Jesus Loves The Little Children

Jesus loves the little children
All the children of the world

Red and yellow, black and white
They are precious in his sight

Jesus loves the little children of the world

FREEDOM!

George M. Cohan
Awarded The Congressional Gold Medal
>> Historical Highlight

The U.S. Congress called "Over There" an American victory hymn. It was written by Cohan April 6, 1917, the same day that he read that the U.S. had declared war on Germany, the start of World War 1. At that time he was congratulated for the patriotic song by President Woodrow Wilson and 23 years later, May 1, 1940, Cohan was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Over There

Johnny get your gun, get your gun, get your gun
Take it on the run, on the run, on the run
Hear them calling you and me
Every son of liberty

Hurry, right away, no delay, go today
Make your daddy glad to have had such a lad
Tell your sweetheart not to pine
To be proud that boy's in line

(Refrain)
Over there, over there
Send the word, send the word over there
That the Yanks are coming, the Yanks are coming
The drums rum-tumming everywhere

So prepare, say a prayer
Send the word, send the word to beware
We'll be over, we're coming over
And we won't come back till it's over over there

Repeat Refrain

Over There

(1)
Johnnie, get your gun, get your gun, get your gun
Take it on the run, on the run, on the run
Hear them calling, you and me
Every son of liberty

Hurry right away, no delay, go today
Make your daddy glad to have had such a lad
Tell your sweetheart not to pine
To be proud her boy's in line

(Refrain)
Over there, over there
Send the word, send the word over there
That the Yanks are coming, The Yanks are coming
The drums rum-tumming everywhere

So prepare, say a prayer
Send the word, send the word to beware
We'll be over, we're coming over
And we won't come back till it's over over there

(2)
Johnnie, get your gun, get your gun, get your gun
Johnnie show the Hun who's a son of a gun
Hoist the flag and let her fly
Yankee Doodle do or die

Pack your little kit, show your grit, do your bit
Yankee to the ranks from the towns and the tanks
Make your mother proud of you
And the old Red, White and Blue

(Refrain)
Over there, over there
Send the word, send the word over there
That the Yanks are coming, the Yanks are coming
The drums rum-tumming everywhere

So prepare, say a prayer
Send the word, send the word to beware
We'll be over, we're coming over
And we won't come back till it's over over there

>> You're A Grand Old Flag
4 minute audio

You're A Grand Old Flag

There's a feeling comes a-stealing
And it sets my brain a-reeling
When I listen to the music of a military band

Every tune like "Yankee Doodle"
Simply sets me off my noodle
It's that patriotic something that no one can understand

"Way down south in the land of cotton"
Melody untiring
It's so inspiring

Hurrah! Hurrah! We'll join the jubilee!
And that's going some for the Yankees, by gum!
Red, white and blue, I am for you
Honest, you're a grand old flag!

You're a grand old flag
You're a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave

You're the emblem of
The land I love
The home of the free and the brave

Every heart beats true
Under Red, White and Blue
Where there's never a boast or brag

But should auld acquaintance be forgot
Keep your eye on the grand old flag

Rally 'round the flag
Let us rally 'round the flag.....

[Spoken comment]

We took the Red from the flame of dawn, the dawn of a new nation

And the White was the white of the snow at Valley Forge

The Blue was the blue of the free open sky

And the stars were the thirteen sisters by the sea who built their home, and called it Liberty

To symbolize our spirit...

Right!

The spirit of freedom...

Right again!

The spirit that gave birth to American democracy

That's the spirit!

My country tis of thee
Sweet land of Liberty
Of thee we sing...

Repeat...with choir

You're a grand old flag
You're a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave

You're the emblem of
The land I love
The home of the free and the brave

Every heart beats true
Under Red, White and Blue
Where there's never a boast or brag

But should auld acquaintance be forgot
Keep your eye on the grand old flag

Repeat...slower tempo

But should auld acquaintance be forgot
Keep your eye on the grand old flag

Time After Time

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tickin', think of you
Turning in circles, confusion is nothing new
Flashback to warm nights, almost left behind

A suitcase of memories, time after sometimes

You picture me, I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear what you've said
And you say, "go slow, I've fallen behind"

The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look and you will find me time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting time after time

...time after time

After your picture fades, darkness has turned to grey
Watching through windows, I'm wondering if you're okay
And you say, "go slow, I've fallen behind"

The drum beats out of time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting time after time

...time after time

oooo time after time
oohh time after time

...time after time

>> I Think Of You
(Rod McKuen lyricist)

I Think of You

When I'm alone at night and there's no one to comfort me,
I think of you and suddenly my pillow is your face and your arms.

And when the winter wind comes chasing after me,
I think of you and it's as though I crawled beneath the blanket soft and warm.

How did I get from dark to daylight before you happened to pass by?
How did I find my way through life before you brightened up my sky?

Was there a sky at all until you painted it for me?
How did I get on till you came along?

Who knows how many times I pause in every day to think of you?
As often as the sun sailed out upon the silent sea.

And if you're wondering why it is I only think of you,
Well, it's because I'd like to be as close to you as you've become to me.

I think of you.
I think of you.

>> In The Year 2525 (1969)

In The Year 2525

In the year 2525

If man is still alive
If woman can survive
They may find

In the year 3535

Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lie
Everything you think, do and say
Is in the pill you took today

In the year 4545

You ain't gonna need your teeth
Won't need your eyes
You won't find a thing to chew
Nobody's gonna look at you

In the year 5555

Your arms hangin' limp at your sides
Your legs got nothin' to do
Some machine's doin' that for you

In the year 6565

Ain't gonna need no husband, won't need no wife
You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too
From the bottom of a long glass tube

In the year 7510

If God's a-coming, he oughta make it by then
Maybe he'll look around himself and say
"Guess it's time for the Judgement Day"

In the year 8510

God is gonna shake His mighty head
He'll either say, "I'm pleased where man has been"
Or tear it down, and start again

In the year 9595

I'm kinda wonderin' if man is gonna be alive
He's taken everything this old earth can give
And he ain't put back nothing

10,000 Years

Now it's been ten thousand years
Man has cried a billion tears

For what, he never knew
Now man's reign is through

But through eternal night
The twinkling of starlight

So very far away
Maybe it's only yesterday

In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive
They may find..........
