The trumpet of freedom has been sounded, and that trumpet never calls retreat. (Applause.)

He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never sound retreat,
He is sifting out the hearts of men before the judgement seat,
O be swift, my soul to answer Him! Be jubilant my feet!
Our God is marching on!

Glory! Glory, hallelujah! Glory! Glory, hallelujah!
Glory! Glory, hallelujah! His truth is marching on!

Great quote from the Battle Hymn of the Republic. So appropriate.
