The Battle Hymn of the Republic, also known as Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory outside of the United States, is a lyric by the abolitionist writer Julia Ward Howe, written in November 1861 and first published in The Atlantic Monthly in February 1862. The song links the judgment of the wicked at the end of the age (through allusions to biblical passages such as Isaiah 63 and Revelation 19) with the American Civil War. The video below is from the Sept. 27, 1969 episode of The Johnny Cash Show.
