The penultimate stanza from 'Battle Hymn of the Republic'

Autograph quote signed in ink by Julia Ward Howe on an off-white 8.5 x 4 sheet, signed and dated at the conclusion, “Julia Ward Howe, June 8th, 1899,” who above adds the penultimate stanza from her classic song of patriotism, ‘Battle Hymn of the Republic,’ which reads: “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.” In fine condition, with uniform toning over most of the sheet.
