As the government tramples on religious liberties forcing Catholic institutions to carry insurance covering abortions and the pill...As the judicial activists overrule the will of the people on marriage twice in California...Annie, get your gunpowder.

@heartfire451 Amen

Now, as our nations government turns to fascism, as our own government opresses the rights of people. We the people need this song more than ever as we will need to stand up to this tyranny.

@squirell1952 The tune, first used in 1854, was "Canaan's Happy Shore". The original song lyrics were "John Brown's Body" and were written in 1860; parts of the tune predate the entire song dating back to the 1830s, but certainly not to the English Civil War (1642-1651). Incidentally, Charles I was monarch at the time; Queen Victoria ruled from 1838 to 1901. Hundreds of variations on the lyrics exist, in several languages. The standard lyrics were written by Julia Ward Howe in 1861

when we all join up to become One, when we all have become the brotherhood of man, then, and only then, can the Fatherhood of God fall into place. God cannot operate without us. Think about it next time you sing this gorgeous hymn in church or on the village green.

PLEASE.

Nobodsy believes me when I say this lovely, lovely, lovely piece of music comes from the State of England originally. Apparently, they sang it way back when they had THEIR civil war, a few centuries ago. the song then travelled to america where it was adopted. one could turn this typeof tune into a world anthem. BUT DO YOU KNOW THE LYRICS OF THE DIRTY VERSION. It begins with Irish rebels wiping their arses with Queen Victoria. I will not repeat it but other former colonies have dirty versions!

Our Nation under God let our armies do his bidding.

@myeyepie This line was changed by the Mormons, to make it Mormon-ly sweet. A disgrace! The correct line is: "As he died to make men holy let us die to make men free". I hate when the Mormons "bastardize" great pieces of music to fit their liking.

they died for us, a tribute to all soldiers neither friend nor foe :)
