I believe, that evening on the Dean Martin show, he did speak for all humanity, especially in our American humanity, for those who remember. between you and me, samuel, there are two, and many more.
My Father was in WWII on the U.S.S. Battleship Texas in every theater of that war. He was my hero! He loved all the old Patriotic Songs, and I loved him! This video came up through some of my searches on TH-cam. Now I would like to say Thank You for posting this video. I never seen this till tonight, and my Fathers Presence was here with me as I watched. Thank You again for your patriotism!
Thank you for your love of your father and for his service. My father has also gone home to God. He was in the Navy in World War II. Our fathers' eyes are seeing the glory of the Lord
My parents did not fail me. I just turned twenty two and I stand for the flag. I do a lot of things not to make anyone around me not older people or people my age proud I do it to inspire and show that loving America and what we have is still something to be happy about. Patriots will carry the torch fret not.@@GlennCarver
@@GlennCarverSeeing how far we’ve fallen morally, etc since the year 1900, I firmly believe that each successive generation of parents, for the most part, have failed their children - to the “fallen height” that morals (sexual and otherwise) are no longer taught because there are so few living today who have any idea what morals are.
I am an old man who had the distinct pleasure of watching this gentleman, live and I must tell you that his words in this video, bring tears to my eyes.
With Deepfakes and large language models, WE CAN MAKE ORSON WELLES MAKE BISCUIT RECIPES. He may be gone, but like the Six Million Dollar Man, we have the technology to rebuild him!
@@duncreg Richard Burton was a great orator also. He opened a phone book (remember those?)on Johnny Carson Show and started reading names. Mesmerizing.
I think none could have stated this message better or, more eloquently. Our nation needs to revisit this epic hymn and and give it the respect and grandeur it so deserves.
Hymnals need to be put back in our churches. Many churches no longer use hymnals but up on a screen. Our isin turmoil with violence and hate. Mr. Wells says it well. A great spokesman. We need more like him God bless America.
As a Canadian who served in the USN in the early 60’s these words resonate to all mankind not just those who live in the USA. It is time for your great nation to resolve your differences within & once more be the great leader of democracy you have always shown the world. God Bless America.🇺🇸
He really knew how to give a speech. His address upon receiving the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award was the best I have ever heard. No award acceptance comes close. It was also a commercial for his final film project. I believe you can find the speech on TH-cam.
I never grew up with Orson Wells, but in school I watched his movies in English class in high school. Orson Wells was an artist, visionary, and a genius.
The battle hymn of the republic still brings tears to my eyes after 77 years. I remember sing this song in grade school and It brought tears to my eyes then. There are a small group of people in this wonderful country who hate this country, and want to tear it down. But you don't see these same people leaving and going else where. If this country is so bad how come there are millions of people wanting to come here to become American citizens. My advice to those who say they hate my country, I say to you shut up sit down become a better citizen, or get the hell out of my country.
God no longer blesses America. America has turned her back on God, decades ago . So God has turned His back on us. We are now receiving , what we deserve. Gods wrath.
We always stood in the morning for “The Pledge of Allegiance “. I am 75, native Californian. We need to bring that back to school & civic gatherings. Also learned the songs for each branch of the military. Unheard of today. Believe I was in fourth grade at that time. We were in process of losing our “Republic”. Thank God saved us on November 5th 2024. The Republic & our American values must be strengthened in next 4 years & beyond. There is no way I can begin to imagine what Donald Trump has gone through. He has his faults as we all do but he loves America & Americans. Thank you President Trump. 🇺🇸😢
Thank you for putting this out there. Orson Welles could communicate thought, imagination and emotion better than anyone we've seen or heard from since.
I'm an Australian and this moves me. What have we lost over the years? There is nothing like this now. No love for country, no love for who we are. Just division, hatred for who we are. Western society hates itself and is no longer proud of what it once achieved. It believes that in order to be stronger it must dilute what makes it great. We must now be ashamed of our roots, and hate ourselves and all that we've achieved. Our enemies don't think like that. They are proud of what they've achieved. They don't hate themselves. They hate us. People who have dragged this world into the modern era, through science and thought, unfettered by ideology or religious extremism. Yet these are the countries that hate us most and try their utmost to destroy us. And when they say we are unfair and racist and every sort of "phobic" we are expected to feel embarrassed and guilty. But they don't want to go back to the countries they came from because if they say those things there they could indeed risk their lives. Quite the conundrum, wouldn't you say? We give them the freedom to destroy us from within. The freedom they never had in the country they came from in most instances. And if they are native-born and hold these views, they are useful idiots who will never realise how they have been used. This needs to stop. Be proud of who we are. Stand up, stop being silent. Our silence allows our destruction.
part of freedom is the freedom to point out where the shining beacon on the hill is lacking. i love my country for certain, or more accurately i love my fellow countrymen. the country is merely an apparatus for improving the lives of the humans that live here. when it fails to live up to that standard, it is well within my rights to point that out. the first amendment says that i may peacefully petition the government for redress of wrongs. what western culture has achieved it has achieved through a mixed bag. we wouldn't have modern dentistry without certain people experimenting on those they considered lesser humans. you can hate the vile actions even if the consequence was something grand. NASA wouldn't exist without project paperclip. without the war crime of using the atom bomb, japan might have fought to the last remaining man and woman. as for enemies, how well do you know those places? when america invaded afghanistan, it didn't take long to develop local operatives willing to fight against their country's rulers. that says they hated what their country was, and wanted to change it. when a person is being racist or phobic, yes, you should feel bad. why does it surprise you that predetermined bigotry is not a valid way of judging a human? immigrants are more law abiding than natives. studies show this. immigration does not destroy, it creates. i am proud of who I am, my own choices, my own life. why take pride in the accident of where i was born? we are all human.
Though a patriot from a young age I had never heard it until I was in 6th grade and had to play it on the trumpet with all the bands in our school district. The sound of 80 trumpets performing the fanfare of that song still makes me cry 40 years later.
I always loved Orson Welles! His voice and acting was/ is amazing... Also, this is a powerful song ! One we all should know and the history of it, too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free" is the most powerful lyric line EVER written and should be chiseled in granite over the entrance to the Pentagon as the mission statement for the military fit for "one nation under God."
Is the hymn fading or are we waiting for the trumpets to call us to a great battle for freedom and humanity? Only time will tell. May God Bless our Nation!
I was in the Navy, I've listened to this video several times, each time it brings tears to my eyes as to how far this nation has sunk. We need patriots to stand up and support morality, stop the pushing of imoral indoctrination in the schools, and get corupt politicians out of Government. There is much to do to get this nation back on track. We have an upcomming election, I would like to encourage every U.S. Citizen to vote, it is our duty as a member of this republic. As I've said many times, if you don't vote, you have no place complaining about the Government, because voting is the mechanism the founders of our nation put into place for the citizens to control Government..
Give me someone worth voting for. Till then, I'll complain all I want to. It's not like they've given us any real options. It's all a sham and anyone who votes for these corrupt politicians is just as guilty as they are. Edit: Before you go all patriotic on me, I served in OIF.
@@josiahhockenberry9846 Yes, I have heard of Operation Iraqi Freedom, however I have never heard of it referred to as OIF. Although I worked for the Department of Defense, Office of Inspector General, Defense Criminal Investigative Service, from 1989 to 2001, and so I know that all of DoD uses untold numbers of acronyms, and therefore it is imperative to introduce acronyms by defining the meaning in the beginning of your written product, so that everyone that reads it has a better understanding of what you are trying to communicate. But of course as a Special Agent, I was trained to communicate in writing, in a manner that is clear and avoids misunderstandings of what I am stating, as there are people relying on what I stated to make determinations of whether or not to criminally prosecute subjects of my investigations, or pursue civil or administrative recourse on behalf of the government. In doing so, it was incumbent on me to provide clear communications to avoid undeserved prosecutions of people without solid evidence of guilt. My subjects included government contractors, government employees, as well as military personnel. I appreciate your service in the military, and I would hope that you believed that I would give you that consideration, should you have been a subject in one of my investigations.
Do you really not know our votes don't choose the President? The government overturns our votes in court for local decisions. Voting doesn't make a difference.
Speaking of old photos, my grandmother was, for a time, friends with Orson’s mother in Kenosha, Wisconsin. She also knew a woman photographer in town who had photographed Mrs. Welles and Orson when he was just a few years old. My mother passed the photo along to me before she died. I always meant to see if the photo was worth anything. But during a divorce, my now ex-wife threw it away…along with all the snapshots I took when I was a kid…
I'm in my twenties but have never heard of this man, but what a wonderful story and a truly inspirering tale. Makes me ask why our good God allowed this world to become so drained of messages as these.
I wish we hadn’t lost these awesome American accents from years past. Reminds me of my late grandpa. Powerful, articulate, and distinct manly American accents. We all sound like inarticulate Nancy boys now
Too deistic, as a man of faith myself the faith need not be included into the fabric of our identity. We were meant to practice quietly & speak softly of our faith. I love the song to no end and should my country come calling to me to make quick to fight for what it stands for, or die to make and keep men free, I'll go in singing it. But we need not make it the Anthem. Leave that to the Battle Cry of Freedom
she rewrote the words to "john brown's body" which is more powerful song Old John Brown’s body lies moldering in the grave, While weep the sons of bondage whom he ventured all to save; But tho he lost his life while struggling for the slave, His soul is marching on. John Brown was a hero, undaunted, true and brave, And Kansas knows his valor when he fought her rights to save; Now, tho the grass grows green above his grave, His soul is marching on. He captured Harper’s Ferry, with his nineteen men so few, And frightened "Old Virginny" till she trembled thru and thru; They hung him for a traitor, themselves the traitor crew, But his soul is marching on. John Brown was John the Baptist of the Christ we are to see, Christ who of the bondmen shall the Liberator be, And soon thruout the Sunny South the slaves shall all be free, For his soul is marching on. The conflict that he heralded he looks from heaven to view, On the army of the Union with its flag red, white and blue. And heaven shall ring with anthems o’er the deed they mean to do, For his soul is marching on. Ye soldiers of Freedom, then strike, while strike ye may, The death blow of oppression in a better time and way, For the dawn of old John Brown has brightened into day, And his soul is marching on.
When I went to grade school you pledged allegiance to the Flag . Every Day . Loud and Proud ! People have seemed to have lost their way these days .God help them find the same path I did . 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
It would not work for Jewish people. Are you suggesting that Jews not be Americans? We have MANY faiths in this country as well as people who consider themselves to be atheists and they all have a right to be citizens. Just read the first amendment!
What's become of Patriotism? There once was a time when we could have differences, but still remain united as Americans. We've devolved into Groups. Divided. Merely residents of a broken Nation.
💙 The World is in fear of America for which it stands for... "Freedom" We are the seed that you either "water it", or let it dry up and disappear! I have in MY Heart, all the "Hope" for that dream! "GOD BLESS AMERICA" For She Shows Us The Way! 💙
Let’s all sing along! Note that only the last verse is explicitly Christian, anyone can sing the rest. The chorus varies slightly in most stanzas, so it has been printed out in full. Mine 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! Glory, glory, hallelujah! His truth is marching on I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps 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! Glory, glory, hallelujah! His day is marching on I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel "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! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Since God is marching on He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat 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! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Our God is marching on In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea 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! Glory, glory, hallelujah! While God is marching on
Mr. Welles, there are apps now which can construct one’s appearance from youth to old age, i.e., show you what you will look like when you are old, and the reverse, i.e., what you looked like when you were young from you as an old person. It’s worth a try.
Orson Welles could have been the spokesman for all humanity
I believe, that evening on the Dean Martin show, he did speak for all humanity, especially in our American humanity, for those who remember. between you and me, samuel, there are two, and many more.
Today’s government would call this hate speech.

Could they be brought back you think

Orson Welles was one of a kind for sure!
Both Welles and Martin are truly immortal treasures of the nation
37 years old and this is the first time I have heard this hymn... wow. Inspiring words
RIP Mr Welles
Thank you for your talents and brining together the talents to produce the radio shows, movies
I could listen to Orson Welles forever
One of those voices that drags your mind to way back when..
AWESOME!!! what a legend!!!!
❤beautiful. Thanks for the photo of Julia. I have known this for many years and have seen the rough hand-written words she wrote in semi darkness.
We used to have to sing patriotic songs each morning before the flag in middle school. This was always my favorite song.

This should be taught in every school in America to show how wonderful America really is. T.Y.
And that bow tie in a museum!

It was! Amen!

That was an amazing commentary of Americana.

No one reads or narrates like Orson Welles.
The USA is invincible as long as the people stick together. It makes me sad to see how the country rips itself apart.
One can see the appeal of Orson, yet without really knowing him.

Orson Welles was a famous actor..
My last name is Wells, my nickname in school was Orson, I didn’t know it then, I’m proud now.
Tears and goosebumps.
I have sung the Wilhouski rendition numerous times and always got chocked up.
GREAT SONG... One of the best commentaries ever posted...
Orsen Wells was a great spokesman!❤
What a great speaker Orson Wells was. Hallelluhya.😊😢
When he was good, on a roll, no one even came close to his spreading the truth. He was the original voice to America.
What a wonderful voice!

which is more powerful song
Old John Brown’s body lies moldering in the grave,
While weep the sons of bondage whom he ventured all to save;
But tho he lost his life while struggling for the slave,
His soul is marching on.
John Brown was a hero, undaunted, true and brave,
And Kansas knows his valor when he fought her rights to save;
Now, tho the grass grows green above his grave,
His soul is marching on.
He captured Harper’s Ferry, with his nineteen men so few,
And frightened "Old Virginny" till she trembled thru and thru;
They hung him for a traitor, themselves the traitor crew,
But his soul is marching on.
John Brown was John the Baptist of the Christ we are to see,
Christ who of the bondmen shall the Liberator be,
And soon thruout the Sunny South the slaves shall all be free,
For his soul is marching on.
The conflict that he heralded he looks from heaven to view,
On the army of the Union with its flag red, white and blue.
And heaven shall ring with anthems o’er the deed they mean to do,
For his soul is marching on.
Ye soldiers of Freedom, then strike, while strike ye may,
The death blow of oppression in a better time and way,
For the dawn of old John Brown has brightened into day,
And his soul is marching on.
Legendary
Look up the Drakensberg choir singing the battle hymn.
A great man Orson.
Beautiful
When I went to grade school you pledged allegiance to the Flag . Every Day . Loud and Proud ! People have seemed to have lost their way these days .God help them find the same path I did . 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
OMG! Every American should hear this!
They should make 'the battle hymn of the Republic' the national anthem.
It has been suggested but I believe the lyrics are a bit too Christian.
@@alineharamIt fits with the pledge of allegiance, “One Nation Under God” .
It is sad it is no longer part of the education system yet immorality is.
It is important to note that this country is, according to the constitution, secular.
It would not work for Jewish people. Are you suggesting that Jews not be Americans? We have MANY faiths in this country as well as people who consider themselves to be atheists and they all have a right to be citizens. Just read the first amendment!
I believe America the beautiful is a better choice but, considering all the wars we've been in perhaps a war inspired one is apt as sad as it is.
Orson Wells, a national treasure. He understood REALITY. Reality is an endangered thing.
What's become of Patriotism? There once was a time when we could have differences, but still remain united as Americans. We've devolved into Groups. Divided. Merely residents of a broken Nation.
Hallelujah ❤
CAN ANYONE DOUBT IT ..GO AND SPPREAD .HIS TRUTH IS MARCHING ON..WE ARE ALL ONE PEOPLE..
I love America when I hear songs like this one i get emotional im an American patriot
💙 The World is in fear of America for which it stands for... "Freedom" We are the seed that you either "water it", or let it dry up and disappear! I have in MY Heart, all the "Hope" for that dream! "GOD BLESS AMERICA" For She Shows Us The Way! 💙
Wait a second has Kelsey Grammer been doing an impersonation this man the entire time??!???!
Lol.
Grammer speaks with a derivative of the TransAtlantic dialect that was still popular in broadcasting when Orson Welles was cutting his teeth in radio.
Excellent, thanks for posting this!
Let’s all sing along!
Note that only the last verse is explicitly Christian, anyone can sing the rest.
The chorus varies slightly in most stanzas, so it has been printed out in full.
Mine 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!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on
I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps
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!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His day is marching on
I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel
"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!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Since God is marching on
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat
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!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Our God is marching on
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea
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!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
While God is marching on
Beautiful ❤️
Thank you for sharing!
Amen.
Simply brilliant 👏👏👏
What is so sad, is that we have almost two generations of Americans who have never heard this song, let alone know the words.
Mr. Welles, there are apps now which can construct one’s appearance from youth to old age, i.e., show you what you will look like when you are old, and the reverse, i.e., what you looked like when you were young from you as an old person. It’s worth a try.
We sang that song in school.
