It’s over 100 years old and was known as the Negro National Anthem. It’s an uplifting hymn.

Last stanza:

God of our weary years
God of our silent tears
Thou who has brought us thus far on the way
Thou who has by Thy might
Led us into the light
Keep us forever in the path, we pray
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee
Lest, our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee
Shadowed beneath Thy hand
May we forever stand
True to our God
True to our native land

It does beat “This Land Is Your Land”, I’ll give it that.
