"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 the age (Old Testament, Isaiah 63; New Testament, Rev. 19) with the American Civil War. Since that time, it has become an extremely popular and well-known American patriotic song.
In Girls und Panzer, this song is used by Saunders University High School.

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
Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! His truth is marching on
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! His day is marching on
"As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal" Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel Since God is marching on
Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Since God is marching on
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! Be jubilant, my feet! Our God is marching on
Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Our God is marching on
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! While God is marching on
