First stanza: <\/strong>lyrics by Julia Ward Howe,<\/em> 1861<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord:<\/strong><\/span>
\nHe is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;<\/strong><\/span>
\nHe hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:<\/strong><\/span>
\nHis truth is marching on.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

GETTYSBURG ADDRESS<\/span>, November 19, 1863<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

“Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.\u00a0 Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure.\u00a0 We are met on a great battlefield of that war.\u00a0 We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live.\u00a0 It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.\u00a0 But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground.\u00a0 The brave men, living and dead who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract.\u00a0 The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.\u00a0 It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.\u00a0 It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us–that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion–that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“The sum of all is , if we would most truly enjoy the gift of Heaven, let us become a virtuous people; then shall we both deserve and enjoy it.\u00a0 While, on the other hand, if we are universally vicious and debauched in our manners, though the form of our Constitution carries the face<\/em> of the most exalted freedom, we shall in reality be the most abject slaves.” \u00a0\u00a0 Samuel Adams<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
