<!-- NOT by Julia Ward Howe -->, The John Brown Song or Glory Hallelujah (1861)
“ And soon throughout the sunny south, the slaves shall all be free, For his soul is marching on. Verse The conflict that he heralded, he looks from heav'n to view; On the army of the Union with its flag red, white and blue, And heaven shall ring with anthems o'er the deeds they mean to do, For his soul is marching on. Verse O soldiers of freedom, then strike while strike you may The death blow of oppression in a better time and way; For the dawn of old John Brown has brighten'd into day, And his soul is marching on. ”
