The Battle Hymn Of The Republic

[captdot]

Beautiful! Anyone know if there is video of this performance? Would love to see these Patriot kids!

[rrooney640]

I would have much preferred to see the actual performance of the children. It would have been much nicer to see the young people all singing this together.

[Icyharryo]

Where is the video of this beautiful performance?

[doiley200]

The children's voices are beautiful and the images are nice but was very disappointed there are no pics of the children!!!!!! Would have been so much better to see pics of the choirs instead of repeating pics of government buildings

[rogerschase]

USA forever GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

[rogerschase]

God may have Marcy but America does not

[fckobango]

I have the web site to deport the illegal alien, communist, muslim, drug addict, fagot squatting in the white house. Please do this, your country is at steak. Soon it maybe to late.

[TheTrollMallet]

@fckobango Just a little harsh on the pres buddy.. but please tell me you were drinking or something becasue our country is not at 'steak'... might be at stake...but not burnt to a crisp yet.

[WHSTBONE99]

the 13 you do not like this song are not very patriotic and there probably atheist, AND GET A LIFE AND LEARN TO ENJOY THIS TYPE OF MUSIC.

[bunnyz324]

are those boys and girls

boys?

girls?

[PeterKuriakose]

Your god doesn't exist.

[Madcat0543]

@PeterKuriakose He does "Maybe you don't exist ?" 

[PeterKuriakose]

@Madcat0543 Is that why you replied to me? Because I don't exist?

Idiot.

Your god doesn't exist. It was only good for slaughtering children in 1 Samuel 15:3. As a make-believe boogaboo who allowed fools to slaughter without feeling guilt.

[TheTrollMallet]

Is this the same rendition as great dane pro? I have had that link bookmarked for years! Great to see it on YouTube.

[chetohimler]

My Lord Jesus Christ, My American Flag, and our American Troops....does'nt get any better than this. I love it.

[FreedomForAmericaII]

@chetohimler Spot on my friend.

[manhattan85]

Hey lookie here, up in the top left, it's Jesus.

[buzztopburnett]

Please,let's put God back into our school's,goverment place's

[marko0430]

What an emotive battle hymn. Crush anyone who does not believe in our god. god bless america.

[Vorgoth911]

@marko0430

Because this country marches under God's banner is what makes this country the greatest country on earth to live in no matter what your race, religion, or sex, God bless America.

[nihongakusee2004]

@marko0430 LOL!! So what you're saying is that you support the terrorists? God gives those who are faithful to Him the victory! It has nothing to do with oppressing other countries in the name of Jesus! LOL! Is that -really- what you think this song is about!? ROFL!! This is a song of the turmoils and troubles of our forefathers and how they have spent their lives protecting our freedom! Don't forget it and be thankful for the fact you don't live in a country where religion is compulsory

[jrayeyt]

@nihongakusee2004 This song was written before the Civil War by abolitionist Julia Ward Howe. It is mostly about the evil of slavery, and being willing to die to end slavery. Abolitionist Christians, at the time, believed this to be a righteous cause. Perhaps you disagree and would prefer that human beings could still be bought and sold like cattle in the USA today.

[nihongakusee2004]

@jrayeyt You... must have responded to the wrong comment dude. It's okay, it happens.

[jrayeyt]

@nihongakusee2004 I apologize sincerely.

[Jcdaking81]

@jrayeyt no man can own another

[johnjmerrill]

this version was prepared for the pope's visit to America while president George W was in office...it is made up of Elementary,middle school children and high school children..what pride they must have had while singing this song for him!!

[62granados]

Beautiful made my heart so proud how forunate we are to be here in this beautiful country.Only children deserve to sing this song because they have not soiled our beautiful country like we the older generation have.God save us and our country for our innocent children for the freedom that they deserve.Thank God for the United States of American

[mythoughts777]

ALL THUMBS UP! JESUS IS OUR ROCK! 

[KeybladeMaster33]

Well this actually succeeded in bringing tears to my eyes... I loved it, wish I could buy this version somewhere.

[redrose971]

it stirs the blood,magnificent

[heupiedupey]

Absolutely amazing. No choir could do better. NONE!!!!!!!!!

[diana27z]

Awesome..

[Southerntreatment]

God Bless America! we need Him now more than ever- A nation without God is a nation gone under. Thanks for sharing- beautiful version- great talent here!! God Bless my friend!

[MrButterisbest]

What could be more beautiful than the LAMB of GOD holding securely onto one of HIS own and a childrens chior singing in the background the"Battle Hymm Of The Republic. HIS battle is won and HIS truth will march on and on forever.

AMEN

[timjohnlangin]

I noticed the last comment here was about a year ago. I first heard it last year and still love it today. Is there a way I can get a DVD of this video?

[majormoneydesign]

There is a few rednecks who stumbled upon this and thought they were getting the call. lol

[kmsrj2009]

One Nation Under God not gov. Why can't Obama get that now...?

[carolynstephens19]

This is Beautiful, I wish everyone truly felt like this Now, We do Need to Reunite our Country for the sake of All of Us.Please put God in our Schools again. Send our little ones to Church and go with them. Pray and Teach Morals in our Homes.Treason to Our Country and to God Almighty should not be tolerated.No morality ,no God,and disgusting remarks about Our Presidents, and our Fellow brothers and sisters is the ruination of us all. 

[reptileita]

@carolynstephens19

what moral, what church? there are so many in america :V

[rhpicayune]

@reptileita forget uplifting & worshipping church buildings! love each other and do good to one another--you'd like someone to give to you if youre in need of food or clothing, yes?

"do unto others as you would have them do unto you"

even athiests like people to love them and treat them with respect... : )

[stecar9122003]

@rhpicayune You even have a quote from the Bible there my friend. God Bless you.

[llamawhisperer1]

I still don't understand how people can not believe in God. The proof of God's existence is everywhere, even in this music. It's a puzzle alright.

[KevinRCMan]

I got goose bumps all over. I love it<3

[KevinRCMan]

@KevinRCMan -- this is his mother saying that:)

[tommyheddenstomboy]

BEAUTIFUL !

[rmpetti]

I love this and we need to fight to keep God in our schools. With a little more of him we may see better turn outs from the schools.

[MrTrumanG]

How wonderful to know that high school children have so much talent. This required hours and hours of training and work. They should all be congratulated for their hard work and commitment. However, let us also congratulate the parents for allowing their children to study and learn about our country and what makes her great.

Simply beautiful. A wonderful work that is truly inspiring.

[4sr34]

Wow! Truly it brought tears to my eyes.

[Sakamachi25]

A great idea as inspired this song should not be sullied by religion.

[fillfucker]

fuck jesus christ

[ash2ashindust]

This is absolutely AMAZING...what a great job, I surfed for an HOUR before finding just the right vid tp post on my FB group "PROUD GRANDCHILDREN OF WW2 VETERANS"....it is there now, check it out!!! (We honor ALL VETS, and ALL TROOPS, ALL COUNTRIES. and you don't actually have to be a GRANDCHILD of a vet, you can BE A VET! WE WELCOME VETS ON OUR SITE! ...daughters, sons, fathers, mothers..friends...COME ON OVER!!!

Thanks again 4 this vid!

[jrcrin001]

CO, Too many in Washington want to redefine "what "is" is." It is PC on steroids. No no longer do they use words that use dictionary definitions. They will make up their own meanings when it suits them. Good can mean evil, bad can mean good.

They re-define the Constitution as a living document to be mean what they want it to mean. This is easy to do when you define the words differently. To them they do not see it as a "Tower of Babel" but as a form of power. It is tyranny.

[jrcrin001]

CO, When they took office they swore (promised) "To Protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." How can they "fundamentally change America" and protect the Constitution at the same time? They can not without re-defining their words to mean something else. To me they are evil.

[jrcrin001]

CO, More inhumanity to man, since 1919, has been done in the name of socialism than any other cause. If you don't acknowledge this fact, check your history. Look up "National Socialist Workers Party" and "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics" to see how many tens of millions were killed/murdered by those regimes.

[jrcrin001]

The Constitution of the United States of America is beginning to hang by threads. Not by external pressure but by internal corruption in our Government.

NOW is the time for all good Americans to Protect and Defend the Constitution and its Bill of Rights against all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC.

Be respectful, assertive and demand as needed OUR RIGHTS!

Choose Freedom in November 2010 and in November of 2012.

[CapitalistOverlord]

@jrcrin001 When did it come into question? Sure the patriot act wasn't abolished, but Obama couldn't have abolished it without help from congress.

[kingofcode2010]

I agree IN GOD WE TRUST GOD BLESS AMERICA

[moonglow482004]

It is an honor to listen to these words that i love! TY

[pwnedbythen3wb]

God cant find this song anywhere without added added sound effects

[Okiemom2207]

@pwnedbythen3wb

If you sang as badly as I do you would want added sound effects. :)

[sallyp0771]

Does Anyone know what school district this is or what the event was?  It is awesome and I'd love to have a DVD of it, if available.

[dcokernet]

the information on the video beside the video has a link; if you click the link, you might see more info about the video. I hope this helps

[judyleeverro1]

the United States is a divinely inspired creation of God himself. the founding fathers responded to the call of the Holy Spirit and God and Christ to establish this land!

[djstormx]

Amen my brother! Through our Founders He crafted a nation to be remembered and aspired for. Through DIvine Providence our nation was born. However, we have become victim to the infiltrator and deceiver. Let us pray that we can overcome this evil and ask Him to heal our country.

Chronicles 7:14

Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from Heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.

[btjjohnson21]

thanks for the song it made me cry and people should be nicer.

[sabledsoe]

Post this along side the BO worship recently seen on Fox.

[meryll101]

It is nice to hear by children.The Americans helped us to govern by ourselves. This song and the Americans love it and named it "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" KKK means Kataastaasang Kagalanggalangang Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan or it is a group of people who fought for freedom from the spaniards. USA did help us, and we're glad of it.I am a Filipino and I'm proud to be one. No one can criticize my country. If we did that to you, you would feel the same.GOD BLESS PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE ME!!!

[stecar9122003]

@meryll101 The American people only want to help others to have freedom. We don't want to take over any countries, we just want to do what we did for the Philippines. Yes my friend you should be proud of your country. I have many friends that live there and they all are wonderful people. May God Bless you and your country.

[meryll101]

@stecar9122003 Thanks so much for your understanding my friend. God Bless Us All.

[stecar9122003]

@meryll101 You are very welcome my friend.

[DESheffield2nd]

@meryll101 thank you for your kind words. it means a lot to me. 

[oJKBo]

@meryll101 after promising the philippines independence from spain the US sort of didn't leave and then proceeded to put filipinos in concentration camps...?

[meryll101]

@oJKBo Hmmm about that I dont think they did that but we did have hard times with Americans after the Spanish colonization but we strive harder and eventually the Americans just leave us be

[oJKBo]

@meryll101 it did happen, we learned about in in history class. The filipinos were angry at the americans for staying and they revolted. The US responded with overwhelming force and rounded up filipinos and put them into concentration camps

[meryll101]

@oJKBo Oh ok but anyway that's in the past. I'm glad that we're on good terms now

[TheTeaPartyMovement]

God bless the kids who sang and played their instruments so beautifully and God bless the person who put this inspirational you-tube video together!!

We are being tested as a Nation by our own Government. Instead of couriering under this Godless administration.

We are coming together as "One Nation Under God !!" Visit the you-tube video

"America is Me" by Mack Hayes. Keep the faith ! ! MJT

[qwatsdat]

i am not a Cristian, and though it speaks of god and Jesus I don't believe this is what it is about its about the spirit of America and the need to forget your differences and come together to fight for for freedom

[SamuelCyrus]

Christians in England and the United States of America were the impetus behind ending slavery in the West. And while slavery still flourishes and is publicly endorsed in many non-Christian nations, we will continue to march on. Love.  Vaya con Dios!

[ilnardoni]

Great comment!

[meryll101]

@TheTeaPartyMovement I'm sorry wrong press

[MaverickWhig]

Let me tell you guys something, the KKK and all other groups alike are horrible people.

But they are also some of the unfortunate consequences of living in afree society. Everyone has the right to free speech, obviously those racists who commit acts of terrorism and crime should be punished, but the ones who only say and do bad things that are legal cannot not be "getten rid of".

They're speech will always exist in freedom, but the thing is, so will your voices - and that's the point.

[gruglet]

GOD bless the US of A.... your Aussie brothers will allways stand 'Ya All" ( tried to say it wirh an american accent hehhe). .

[robinspillman]

In GOD We Trust!

[AmericaBrit]

Amen!

[snrschooner1]

Regardless of one's political stances and their beliefs about the country and its direction, we are ALL Americans. Therefore, we should all take our time to remember all of the wonderful opportunities we have, the freedoms we cherish and the places and ideas we hold dear. America has its faults, as does any oter nation, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't stand up and be proud of our colors. God Bless America.

[megamaniac76]

who says they are the majority

[FreeCarlin]

And? Religion and Government are to be kept separate. To hell with the majority.

[FreeCarlin]

This country was founded on completely secular basis. Some of the founding fathers were religious, some were agnostic, there is evidence to suggest that few of them were atheist. But every Single one, was Secular. Every one of them, regardless of their beliefs and ideas knew that religion could cause major problems in the operation of any goverment. Religion is supposed to be seperate from anything funded by the goverment. Discuss.

[getdjman]

this is a christian nation.....period.

[FreeCarlin]

Cite your sources please. For example:

"The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion." Treaty of Tripoly, article 11

Here are several quotes I think you will find interesting.

"The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason." Poor Richard's Almanack, 1758 Benjamin Franklin

"Lighthouses are more helpful than churches." Benjamin Franklin

"Religions are all alike - founded upon fables and mythologies." Thomas Jefferson. Any questions?

[halofan4273]

what he means is most U.S. citizens are Chirstian

[FreeCarlin]

I am very aware. What exactly don't you understand?

[pobleterock]

Sadly, not all Americans are Catholic.

[proudrebel69]

Praise YHWH, some of us are real Christians that know that Mary can't forgive sins or even hear us.

[Stinkywrix]

Indeed, brother. A secular United States is a country for everybody.

[APdocumentary]

If the United States are for everbody, why they have clubs/ clans like the KKK

and some others like that?

[Stinkywrix]

I guarantee you, mainstream america HATES the KKK. Every country has clubs like those, including Belgium. We must work to get rid of them.

[deselentemolute]

We don't have to work to do shit...they are weeding themselves out.

[hajishack79]

Everyone is entitled to their own Ideological belief, otherwise no one would be free. Violence is a different story. You cant ban one, without banning all beliefs if you believe in True freedom. I bet you everyone you know is racist in some form to one group of people or another. People hate them because they speak about it. "The Right to Freedom of Speech and the Right to peacefuly Assemble" Ring a Bell?

[deselentemolute]

I live in the southern U.S...you know, where they lynch up black people on every block and carry 12.6 guns at all times(SARCASM)...I have never seen a clansman or heard of any "gathering".

Somethings just aren't as big as you read.  We are just like everyone else.

[joeofthemountain]

First of all, you should read the history of the period known as "Reconstruction" following the genocidal war popularly known as "The American Civil War". You wouldn't be so fast to smash-mouth the Ku Klux Klan if you understood the circumstances. Secondly, the "KKK" has more FBI agents than actual members. It is a bete noir, necessary to stoke the flames of hatred of the Whites who INVENTED America. The shame is in the dispossession of the founding families.

[tubub]

I really wonder why someone bothers making all that shit up. "the 'KKK' has more FBI agents than actual members..."

dumbest fucking thing I've heard all day.

[joeofthemountain]

You're obviously a post-graduate student of history. Oh wait... no, you're just a typically uneducated but wholly indoctrinated participant (can't really say student, scholar, academic or graduate without denigraintg the poor school) of some state college somewhere. Pity, that you know so little but have such a large mouth.

[tubub]

Yet another smug, pretentious liberal educated dumbass that spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on an education and thinks that makes him smart. (Only kidding, I'm sure your full of shit.)

Silly faggot, just because your wrong doesn't mean you have to try to hide behind your (supposive)liberal arts bullshit education.

PS: I know your full of crap.

[Gunnarsguns]

Lol....you are my leader....well said! We are infested with these schmucks

[Spubinges]

Man, it sounds like you hold some of the idealism of a KKK member. Bashing someone you don't even know saying they're uneducated implying that you're better then him.

And why in the world is the KKK being debated under such a beautiful song.

[Falean]

Here is something even more interesting...read further B Franklin's Creed and One Nation Under God. Although our nation was not originally a "Christian" nation, our Founding Fathers understood the wisdom of Christian morality and the necessity of acknowledging God's authority. "Religion, as well as reason, confirms the soundness of those principles on which our govt has been founded and its rights asserted." Thomas Jefferson to P. H. Wendover 1815

[AmericaBrit]

Falean, You have made a very valid point here. Just think of how our Nation would be so much different today if all people would just follow the principals of the Bible. Love one another, do not kill, do not steal, etc...I even know Atheists who practice the Ten commandments because they believe we should all live lives with high moral standards.

[Pegasus796]

The sad part is that most religions have that moral code to live by. People pick and select their religion to suit themselves and thus forgetting that part of religion is tolerance, love, and peace. Christianity is not the only one that holds these principles.

[gothikartoonman]

did anyone know that even though a great many catholics feel pride with this song, it was written by a unitarian who disregarded the trinity. This song is filled with heretical references

[15Brick15]

Heretical references? Who are you?!? The Spanish Inquisition???

[dao3rd]

As a combat vet who was wounded twice in Vietnam I just want to say: GREAT

[ahsconnection]

This is awesome! The voices, the bands, the graphics! The meaning!!! Gives me goosebumps!

[Grandreegon]

Over six hundred thousand Iraqi citizens, mostly women and children, were slaughtered in a "preemptive war" conducted by "american christian patriots".

[taddddd67]

Unfortunately many civilians did die , but most at the hands of their OWN people. People like you always seem to forget that Saddam , his sons and his regime killed, torchered ,and or raped thousands of his OWN people. He gased the kurds, attacked Iran and kuwait. Americans have a history of stopping brutal leaders such as Saddam, Hitler , and Hirohito (Who killed millons). What nation is always one of the first on the scene to aide in any world disaster with open arms and pockets...YEP...U.S.A

[Grandreegon]

I wish the truth could be made crystal clear for people like you tad. I know you mean well,: I too wish I could be proud of the U.S., but this country has done too many rotten things to too many other nations - it's fact. Do your research, and see why the world hates us so. It's ridiculous to use Saddam as a justification for all the Iraqi civilians US soldiers have killed. I know several Iraqi vets personally, and they attest to this very thing. So again - do your research - with an open mind.

[kbapril75]

How old are you?  I am curious. Further comments to follow.

[Grandreegon]

I am 57 years old. If it matters, my Dad was a WW2 Vet, and I lost a number of friends in the Viet Nam War. I see that a number of the people responding to me in this column or section have a lot of trouble thinking out of the box. Reason and facts seem to have no appeal to them -- take a look at scipio1492 below.

[scipio1492]

GRAND: Don't be stupid. Your numbers are wrong. The figure is some 65,000 Iraqis dead, 90% of them killed by islamic fanatics...Shia killing Sunni and vice versa.

[Grandreegon]

The weekly periodical "Nation" just came out with a report that the actual number of Iraqis who have been killed in this war is somewhere between 800,000 and 1,300,000. Where do you get your information? Wake up and smell the coffee -- this is real stuff going on here, and the U.S is responsible for much of it!

[scipio1492]

Grand: This "nation" magazine is a filthy un-American and anbrti-American publication. What can one expect from people who make their living by insulting America.

[maggiethefox]

I would blast this at Osama Bin Laden and his morons from the highest peak on the Afghanistan Waziristan border. No surrender No retreat. Long live America the Brave.

[cdo4Jesus]

This is absolutely beautiful. It bring tears to my eyes and have to agree completely with sandbabs comment below.

Thank you FireFighter11A for making this video and with this choir! God bless you!

[xcaliber69]

Where are these kids from? They should do a program consisting entirely of patriotic songs...a concert tribute to our troops! Then record it for sale on DVDs and CD's and the proceeds go to charity.

AWESOME!!

[drifterx11]

I have also tried every seach to find where they are from, somebody has to know,they just didn't appear from heaven althought they sound like it.

[bandfreak14]

this song is done so greatly by these kids.  this is so amazing.

[Reytista619]

Oohrah!!  Best song ever sang!!

Praise the Lord

[ejvcrna]

What School(s) and or District/State are these students from? Absolutely fabulous!

[Firefighter11A]

I tried to find out, but no luck, Sorry

[ferrousulfate123]

All hail Captain America!

[sandbabs]

Amazing! You've captured the relationship between patriotism and faith that so many feel but yet so few share. Thank you.

[Firefighter11A]

Your Welcome..

[paumamama]

This is awesome.
