The Battle Hymn Of The Republic
The "Battle Hymn of the Republic", also known as "Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory" or "Glory, Glory Hallelujah" outside of the United States, is a popular American patriotic song written by the abolitionist writer Julia Ward Howe. Howe wrote her lyrics to the music of the song "John Brown's Body" in November 1861 and first published them 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 and ) with the American Civil War. History Oh! Brothers The "Glory, Hallelujah" tune was a folk hymn developed in the oral hymn tradition of camp meetings in the southern United States and first documented in the early 1800s.

Glory Glory (football Chant)
"Glory Glory" is a terrace chant sung in association football in the United Kingdom and in other sport. It uses the tune of the American Civil War song "The Battle Hymn of the Republic", with the chorus "Glory, Glory, Hallelujah" – the chant replaces "Hallelujah" with the name (or a four-syllable adaptation) of the favoured team. The chant's popularity has caused several clubs to release their version as an official team song. History The Scottish club Hibernian may be the first club to release the song as a single; "Glory, Glory to the Hibees" by Hector Nicol is believed to have been recorded in the late 1950s. In English football, Tottenham Hotspur is thought to be the first English club to sing the song as a football chant in 1960 when they prevented Wolves from achieving the double in April 1960, but became a popular chant for the club in 1961. Other notable clubs to adopt the song as a football anthem include Leeds United and Manchester United. Tottenham Hotspur " ...

Glory, Glory (fight Song)
"Glory, Glory" is the rally song for the Georgia Bulldogs, the athletics teams for the University of Georgia. The melody of "Glory, Glory" is the same as that of "Say Brothers Will You Meet Us," "John Brown's Body," and "Battle Hymn of the Republic." .

Lyrics and uses The song is played by the Georgia Redcoat Marching Band when the Bulldogs take the field, as well as after touchdowns and other events favorable to the Georgia football team.
