They are two different sets of lyrics sung to the same tune. In the Battle Hymn of the Republic the chorus ends "Glory, Glory, Glory Halleujah, His truth is marching on." The second song is Blood Upon the Risers, a paratrooper song, and the chorus ends "Gory, Gory, Gory Halllelujah, he ain't gonna jump no more." The song is about a paratrooper whose parachute fails to open. You can google for the complete lyrics and I have a mp3 of an army choir singing it.

The Battle Hymn of the Republic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
And it's close relative:
John Brown's Body - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

We sing the Battle Hymn of the Republic at church, around national military holidays.

Edit---but there is one song a like better

Early on one frosty mornin'
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.
Chorus:
O, I wish I was in Dixie! Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie Land I'll take my stand
To live and die in Dixie
|: Away, away, away down south in Dixie! :| 2. Old Missus marry Will, the weaver,
William was a gay deceiver
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.
But when he put his arm around her
He smiled as fierce as a forty pounder
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.
Chorus: 3. His face was sharp as a butcher's cleaver
But that did not seem to grieve her
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.
Old Missus acted the foolish part
And died for a man that broke her heart
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.
Chorus:

Great song, but don't start singing it in too high of key, some of those notes in the "look aways" are real vocal chord stretchers.
