A little topic for discussing about the hymns of the country you live in, wheter they are official or not.

For starting, depsite the reputation of coward France have, it has some of the most violents hymns I heard...
Like for exemple "Le Chant des Partisans" or "Le Chant du Départ" who are some of the great apologia of murdering and dying for a cause I've ever heard...

Battle Hymn of the Republic, biches.

The Liberated Territories wrote:Battle Hymn of the Republic, biches.

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.

I have seen Him in the watch fires of a hundred circling camps
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps;
His day is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His day is marching on.

I have read a fiery Gospel writ in burnished rows of steel;
“As ye deal with My contemners, so with you My grace shall deal”;
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with His heel,
Since God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Since God is marching on.

He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat;
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet;
Our God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Our God is marching on.

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
As He died to make men holy, let us live to make men free;
[originally …let us die to make men free]
While God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! While God is marching on.

He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave,
He is wisdom to the mighty, He is honor to the brave;
So the world shall be His footstool, and the soul of wrong His slave,
Our God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Our God is marching on.

I like that song too. Watch this clip:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cMxJBenigY

Stereotype spotted ! All their hymns were created during violent times, no ?

I Vow to Thee, My Country is my favourite hymn.

I enjoy the Tanzanian national anthem.

The Peoples East Africa wrote:Freedom for The Leader-National Anthem of The Democratic Republic of The Peoples East Africa
The Leader is powerful! The Leader is great! All hail the Leader!
He needs our blood! We give him our blood! All hail the Leader!
He protects us from evil! He protects us from wrong! All hail the Leader!
He is the greatest! He is the best! All hail the Leader!
He conquered the Romans! He freed the slaves! All hail the Leader!

That is verse 1 of 22 of The National Anthem of The Democratic Republic of The Peoples East Africa.

General is OOC. This is about your real life home nation.

Battle Hymn of the Republic, Yankee Doodle, God Bless America (though this one isn't as good), To Arms Dixie, This Land, America the Beautiful, Coming to America

There all pretty good. American's are good at hymns.
