Happy Independence Day!!!! We are so grateful to be Americans and live in the land of the free and home of the brave. We grew up with our dad serving for over 23 years in the Air Force and both of our grandpas were also veterans. Thank you to everyone who has sacrificed to preserve the liberty we hold so dearly. Happy 250 years, America!

►If you are having déjà vu, yes, Julz sang to this tune before! youtu.be/wWo19WEhrHo
The tune is a traditional American folk melody, originally titled "Say, Brothers, Will You Meet Us". It was famously used for the Civil War marching song "John Brown's Body" before Julia Ward Howe wrote these patriotic lyrics in 1861.

►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
I have seen Him in the watch-fires
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
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
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah
His truth is marching on
He is coming like the glory
Of the morning on the wave
He is Wisdom to the mighty
He is Succour to the brave
So the world shall be His footstool
And the soul of Time His slave
Our God is marching on
