"The Battle Hymn of the Republic", also known as "Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory" outside of the United States, is a song by American writer Julia Ward Howe using the music from the song "John Brown's Body". Howe's more famous lyrics were 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 time (New Testament, Rev. 19) with the American Civil War. Since that time, it has become an extremely popular and well-known American patriotic song. Rayburn Anthony's performance of this great song, is one that you will enjoy.
Rayburn, is one of the many talents from Jackson, Tennessee , including Carl Perkins, Carl Mann, and W. S. Holland, to make their mark in the 50's and 60's American Music Scene.
