As long as it’s a “National Hymn” rather than a new National Anthem I don’t see a problem with this. There are other hymns I like a lot more but I see nothing wrong with this hymn. Besides, the progressives will take issue with it because it mentions God.

I was just wondering how long it would take to shorten it in the name of ‘brevity.’

They’ll want to replace mentions of God with “You know, the thing.”

Agree with Hymn, but I prefer “Blest Be The Tie That Binds”.

You don’t have a problem with creeping incrementalism?

This “hymn” is already being played at some professional sports games with the National Anthem. It’s only a matter of time until the Anthem is deemed “too racist” to continue.

Well considering the attitude of the new left “Fuck the Police” would seem the most logical choice.
