The MAGA Movement Must Adopt ‘Battle Hymn of the Republic’ As It’s Marching Song
By Dr. Rich Swier
“There are but two parties now: traitors and patriots. And I want hereafter to be ranked with the latter and, I trust, the stronger party.” — Ulysses S. Grant
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” — George Santayana, The Life of Reason, 1905.
We are seeing the MAGA movement gaining strength despite the efforts of the Biden administration, the weaponization of the DoD, DOJ, FBI, CIA, DHS federal agencies, the lies and myths promoted by Democrat Party and the censorship of conservatives by the main stream and social media platforms.
The MAGA movement is still standing strong.
We are also seeing rebellions against tyrants spreading around the globe from Brazil to Iran to China. People want freedom from their oppressors.
This is a tipping point in history when we now have two parties: traitors and the MAGA movement patriots.
We witnessed this second civil war raging across America beginning on January 20th, 2021. A war waged by tyrants, in both political parties, who are anti-faith, anti-family and anti-freedom.
America in 1861 has repeated itself 161 years later on January 6th, 2021 at the Save America March in Washington, D.C. to stop the steal of a presidential election.
Battle Hymn of the Republic
Patriotic songs have the power to bring people together in a musical celebration of unity and love of country. This is what America and every American needs “unity and love” for our nation. MAGA embodies these two beliefs.
One song represents everything that the MAGA movement is fighting for. To tyrants, it is a musical slap across their hateful and prideful faces.
Listen to the Battle Hymn of the Republic:
As the 118th Congress is sworn in we witnessed 20 patriots who call themselves the Freedom Caucus. How fitting in that we now know who are the patriots and who are the traitors in both parties.
The highlighted words from one verse of the Battle Hymn of the Republic are most appropriate today:
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.
Time for a second Civil War? A civil war to restore faith, family and freedom? Time to set America’s men and women free?
We believe so.

Originally a camp-meeting hymn “Oh brothers, will you meet us on Canaan’s happy shore?” it evolved into John Brown’s Body. Then in 1861 Julia Ward Howe, the wife of a government official, wrote a poem for Atlantic Monthly for five dollars. The magazine called it, Battle Hymn of the Republic. The music is believed to be by William Steffe, a Southerner.
Lyrics 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!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
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 righteous sentence
By the dim and flaring lamps;
His day is marching on.
Chorus
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
He has sounded forth the trumpet
That shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men
Before His judgement seat;
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him;
Be jubilant, my feet;
Our God is marching on.
Chorus
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth 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.
Chorus
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
