For the past two weeks, a Christian hymn has been cropping up in an unlikely place - the protests that have drawn millions of people on to the streets of Hong Kong.
"Hallelujah to the Lord" has become the unofficial anthem of crowds protesting against a controversial proposed law that would allow people accused of crimes in China to be extradited to the mainland.
For Christians in Hong Kong, the hymn is a sign of faith but also of their concerns that it's not only political but also religious issues that are at stake, should the bill ever pass.
Fears and uncertainty
The protests were already under way when the tune first started being sung.
But on 11 June - a day before the protests turned violent - a group of Christians holding a public prayer meeting through the night started singing Hallelujah to the Lord.
The hymn was picked up by other protesters - soon even non-Christians were singing it.

It’s China. None of our business. But if you really want to have an impact, then I think here in the US it is time to sing to Jerry Nadler that “Jeremiah was a bullfrog...”
Maybe it will catch on in China, too.

In the United States, government officials open their meeting with Hail Satan: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/jun/20/alaska-government-meeting-opens-hail-satan-prayer/
Which nation is doomed?
BTW, it goes without saying that the government official who initiated Hail Satan is a Democrat.
Satanism is protected by our first Amendment. Evil,in general, is protected by our Constitution. Live by the F.A, die by the F.A.
May God have mercy on us in the End Times.
Post colonial BS is none of America’s business. The Brits gave HK back to the Chicoms.
