They know they can’t make him follow, so they let him lead. Funny thing is that they always end up down at some crick.

But I knew that version before I knew the original.

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.

Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

Julia Ward Howe, lyricist of “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” (not pictured) is in charge. Did this band even know any other songs?

Therefore it is the great Mr Lincoln in charge of this group.
