A Song to remind us of Moral Resolve and Unity!

"The Battle Hymn of the Republic"
is one of America's most enduring and patriotic songs,
written by Julia Ward Howe in 1861 during the American Civil War.
The song's lyrics were set to the tune of "John Brown's Body,"
a popular Union marching song at the time.

Julia Ward Howe, an abolitionist and poet, was inspired to write
new lyrics after visiting a Union Army camp near Washington, D.C.
She was moved by the soldiers' singing and the cause they were fighting for.

The song reflects the moral fervor of the Union cause against slavery.
It speaks of divine judgment and justice, with the famous opening line,
"Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord."
The lyrics capture the spirit of determination and righteousness,
inspiring soldiers and civilians alike.

"The Battle Hymn of the Republic" has remained a powerful and beloved patriotic hymn,
often performed at significant national events and ceremonies.
