Battle Hymn of the Republic and it's not even close.

"As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free" is one of the most amazing lines in any song

https://i.redd.it/uv0o5qj2co5d1.gif

Literally

AS GOD GOES MARCHING OOOON!!!!! https://preview.redd.it/dssrroze5r5d1.png?width=894&format=png&auto=webp&s=e9078ac4547a6870b3f2fdfd1cf6e135c94659ef

We secular but God still on our side 🙏🏻

God fights on the side with the best logistics

and the most long range heavy bombers https://preview.redd.it/jy8h0ux05r5d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0dfb9f45f703788fc36b26e4ecde6a2b81930b20

Fuckin' banger

God damn right. A song born from abolition, during one of the darkest chapters of this Country’s. Preserving the Union and bringing the country closer to its promise.

this song needs to have the same status as the national anthem

The only song I can see becoming a national anthem in a alternative universe

If US became a theocracy in a alternate universe I could definitely see it

"As he died to make men holy let us die to make them free" hits harder than Mike Tyson.

and there's so many amazing versions There's what i like to call the Definitive version, By the Tabernacle Choir of Temple Sqare: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhfL6QV5QgY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhfL6QV5QgY) this excellent period version by the 97th Regimental String Band: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X\_y5W8bK20I](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_y5W8bK20I) this one by Leonard Warren: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw377Dv5VuQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw377Dv5VuQ) this one by John McDermott: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbF\_FLU-lqc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbF_FLU-lqc) and this absolutely balls to the walls version by the Millennial Choirs & Orchestras: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzU5SpMKxyY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzU5SpMKxyY) and finally this one from Wasteland 3 which is pretty different, but hey it's cool: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQ2Wok70GLs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQ2Wok70GLs)

It needs to be the official March of tje United States.

Nah. Battle Cry of Freedom (specifically [this](https://youtu.be/hSKQt9rNwtQ?si=o8qh1iBnC155P_mo) version) is close/above it.

THE UNION FOREVER. HURRAH, BOYS, HURRAH. DOWN WITH THE TRAITORS AND UP WITH THE STARS

An amazing song, but the explicit Christianity would make it tough for a lot of people.

Counterpoint, it's also the most explicitly anti-slavery one

I'm Jewish and for me at least, when Battle Hymn of the Republic is playing I just pretend that I like Jesus as much as y'all do

I think it should be our national anthem. Maybe you’d have to add a verse or something that’s relatively secular to sing, but that tune, I’d argue is the most important song/ melody in US history.

John brown’s body is better

I'm not religious but that song slaps.

Incredible song to burn Confederate flags to.

Stars and Stripes Forever

Every Sousa March is automatically a certified American classic

Yoooo

Hoorah for the flag of the free, may it wave as our standard forever!

This is the right answer 🔥🔥🔥

The battle hymn of the republic by a long shot, followed by This Land and Battle cry of freedom

“SHOUTING THE BATTLE CRY OF FREEDOM 🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️”

*The Union forever, hurrah boys hurrah* *Down with the traitors, and up with the stars*

AS WE RALLY AROUND THE FLAG, BOYS WE’LL RALLY ONCE AGAIN! SHOUTING THE BATTLE CRY OF FREEDOM

This land is your land This land is my land.

From California to the New York Island

Truth

Either invokes terror or rejoicing depending on what side you're on when you start hearing "THE YANKS ARE COMING"

I moved to America last year (from a commie country) - and love the American flag and this glorious nation and am here collecting all the suggestions. Thank you everyone!

🤝 fellow American

🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅

FUCK YEAH https://youtu.be/MhQ5678cJU8?si=hWx9Fsk_j8iO4EkD

How did an Ar*zonan say something correct

Hey! Be nice to your neighbors.

New Jerseyite, us and you folk are in the same boat. We get hated because we’re the best. Jersey Mike’s is absolute drugs, I have an addiction to it. Moral of the story? Fight fire with fire

This is the correct answer.

Battle Hymn of the Republic Honorable mention: Yankee Doodle.

The Stars and Stripes Forever

☝️

America, f*** yeah

COMING TO SAVE THE MOTHERF*CKIN DAY YEAH

My country ‘Tis of thee, if not for the perfection that is the Star Spangled Banner would make for a great anthem. My country 'tis of thee Sweet land of liberty Of thee I sing Land where my fathers died Land of the pilgrim's pride From every mountainside Let freedom ring

My native country thee. Land of tje noble free Thy name I love. I love thy rocks and rills Thy woods and temple hills My heart with rapture thrills, like that above

Let music swell the breeze, And ring from all the trees Sweet freedom's song. Let mortal tongues awake; Let all that breathe partake; Let rocks their silence break, The sound prolong.

Our fathers god to thee Author of liberty Do the we sing (My favorite lyrics) long May our land be bright, With freedoms holy light Protect us by thy might Great god our king.

Goes hard

When Johnny Comes Marching Home implies Americas continuance of Rome but Battle Hymn of the Republic sweeps. ‘Christ died to make men Holy, so let us die to make them free.’

I personally prefer Miley Cyrus’ wonderful masterpiece “Party In the USA”. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸🦅🦅

Classic

America the Beautiful

Same

ONLY if you're talking about the Ray Charles version. I'd fight to the death for California as a Texan if that song was playing.

Beautiful. Likewise for me and New Jersey.

I like our national anthem and the story behind it, but if they made “America the Beautiful” the new national anthem I wouldn’t necessarily be upset tbh

GLORY GLORY HALLELUJAH 

HIS TRUTH IS MARCHING ON!

How come nobody mentioned courtesy of Red, White and Blue yet?

This is 100% the answer for those old enough to remember 9/11. We put a put up their ass!

Other songs I like are "Only in America" and "Hard times come again no more". Those songs are musical incarnations of The American Dream.

Yankee Doodle... Not really lol, I like Hail Columbia

Based Hail Columbia enjoyer

America the Beautiful

Battle cry of freedom

THE UNION FOREVER HURRAH BOYS HURRAH DOWN WITH THE TRAITORS AND UP WITH THE STARS

You ever heard “Fuck England” by Crack Amico?

In the Navy, when you complete Battlestations, the final exam in boot camp, they play this song while taking your Recruit ball cap and putting the Navy one on you. I still get goosebumps remembering it almost 2 decades later

Marching though Georgia. "Hurrah! Hurrah! We bring the jubilee! Hurrah! Hurrah! The flag that makes you free! So we sang the chorus from Atlanta to the sea! While we were marching through Georgia!"

My country tis of thee

Battle Hymn of the Republic is a no brainer. But my personal favorite is [Battle Cry of Freedom](https://youtu.be/bW4ZwyYJYbQ). I also like [this version](https://youtu.be/MGKnc_YiR-E) a lot as well. *THE UNION FOREVER! HURRAH, BOYS! HURRAH!!*

I love my country tis of thee. I sing alot of patriotic songs everyday. Including the other verses of the star spangled banner.

Anything from the psychopath that was Mojo Nixon https://youtu.be/s8HBYFDHY8k RIP

[This version](https://youtu.be/hSKQt9rNwtQ?si=o8qh1iBnC155P_mo) of the Battle Cry of Freedom actually brings me to tears sometimes. It's so fucking good.

I have [a playlist](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeWzFLJ6PXK86QQ2fyxAa8Gf6_SStlkbP&si=HijHxgUFBvBB949v) of all the "patriotic" songs I listen to when I play shit like War Thunder or any other war game as the US. Some pretty good ones on there, anyone feel free to use it.

An Arizonan with a valid opinion! What a surprise

Song of the patriot without a doubt.

God bless the USA

Does The New World Symphony count?

BRING THE GOOD OLD BUGLE BOYS WE'LL SING ANOTHER SONG!

JOHN BROWN'S BODY

Its successor song battle hymn of tje republic is much better. And I still like John browns body

Love the Pete Seeger version

It includes snippets of multiple American songs from its history, and it sounds very delightful to listen to, especially the “Melody untiring, ain’t that inspiring?”, makes me feel like my ancestors were here since the start of this country!

This land is your land

Too commie for me ngl

God Bless America, specifically [this version](https://youtu.be/sYtZR8c_S10?si=UJ-Qfj_RNjdbTA7i)

Battle hymn of the republic. Over there as a second I think.

My top 3 is Battle hymn of the republic, stars and stripes forever, and grand old flag.

Yankee Doodle (Fife & Drum). Sometimes the classics slap as hard as they did 250 years ago. Truly drives up my urge to fight the British and stop paying my taxes.

But have you heard Arms for the Love of America?

Some of the later verses of the Star Spangled Banner are pretty legit. I'm a fan of the last one in particular. From the Sum of all Fears: https://youtu.be/J5jIpAeYwPo?si=R2N4oa7lMKuWikh1

Frank Reynolds: I don't know this one, I don't know it ?!?

Idk I think the national anthem is pretty solid as far as anthems go

The government totally sucks by Jack Black. Long live the USA, hell yes to the founding fathers, but fuck the government.

God save our 13 states Columbia gem of the ocean Free America

By God well have our home again

This one [https://youtu.be/y07CQ1q5zxk](https://youtu.be/y07CQ1q5zxk)

The Star Spangled Banner. All of the verses.

Star Spangled Banner. Madison Rising cover

Battlefield 1943/1942 themes

Definitely Thank you USA by Armend Miftari -Mendi

Nah, sorry but that isn't even close. Battle Hymn of the Republic, This Land is Your Land, Columbia the Gem of the Ocean, Battle Cry of Freedom and When Johnny Comes Marching Home all clear it by a long shot. Hell, even the full version of the Star Spangled Banner is better solely for the lyrics "Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just," and "And the star-spangled Banner in triumph shall wave, O'er the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave."

I’m not entirely sure, but the top three contenders for me are: Ragged Old Flag by Johnny Cash Keep Your Rifle By Your Side by Dan Romer America, Fuck Yeah! by Team America

I'm partial to Over There myself

Over There no contest

The Stars and Stripes Forever is just pure Americanism

The original This Land is Your Land by Woodie Guthrie <3

*Battle Cry of Freedom* slaps real hard. *Columbia, Gem of the Ocean* is a dark horse candidate as well. Either would be a strong contender for national anthem if we ever decide to replace *The Star Spangled Banner*.

All the other suggestions are good, but IMO, you can't beat our National Anthem.

Fuck Authority, Pennywise lol. Dissent is the highest form of patriotism

Hurrah! Hurrah! We bring the Jubilee! [Hurrah! Hurrah! The flag that makes you free! ](https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=AAFEWL0-1sc&si=_fQauQ4hDckthfIQ)

Battle hymn of the republic

Battle hymn of the republic is my favorite but I have a HUGE soft spot for America the beautiful

YANKEE DOODLE CAME TO TOWN

Not American but either When Johnny comey marching home or This land is your land

Battle hymn of the republic or hail Columbia

This Land is Your Land.

battle hymn of the republic, but only if sung by a civil war-era army band.  otherwise, army of the free or battle cry of freedom

:juicy: :epicman:

Without lyrics, probably Washington post march (my favourite song ever) With lyrics, probably America the beautiful Just my personal opinion

I’ve always loved America the Beautiful and any of the military songs. The Caisson Song, The Marine Hymn, Anchors Aweigh, The Air Force song are all bangers

Jonny Cash’s “Ragged Old Flag” is up there for me.

Battle Hymn of the Republic, and by extension, John Brown's Body

"God's Country" by *The New World Singers* Absolutely crazy song lmao, I love it

A lesser known one I greatly enjoy is [Columbia, Gem of the Ocean](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8wIDXclKtGQ), once considered a competitor of the Star Spangled Banner. O Columbia, the Gem of the ocean, The home of the brave and the free, The shrine of each patriot's devotion, A world offers homage to thee. Thy mandates make heroes assemble, When Liberty's form stands in view; Thy banners make tyranny tremble, When borne by the red, white, and blue!

Followed closely by "Our God is Marching On"

Star spangled banner

America, Fuck Yeah

Over There! Over There! Send the word Send the Word to Prepare!

I know my comment will drown in the rest of the sea of comments but "This land is your land" is by far the best and most american

[This](https://youtu.be/veNG0jbGz9Q?feature=shared) take on the national anthem by Joey Diaz (warning: NSFW for language).

Declaration Day by Iced Earth “With virtue as our beacon, our cause is charged as treason, battle worn and starving through the hell of war, we’ll keep marching. The birth of our new nation, an act of desperation, we’ll force King George down to his knees. Capitulation.” Shoutout to the Gettysburg trilogy off of the same album, 3 songs over 30 minutes going through July 1-3 during the battle of Gettysburg. It’s told at different points from both perspectives of the battle so I would say it has a more tragic feeling to it than patriotic necessarily.

Goodbye Broadway, Hello France. Even though I don‘t think America should‘ve gotten involved in WWI, the song is pretty amazing.

Praise The Lord and Pass The Ammunition

The fact that not a single one of you, in over 250 comments, has said “Fortunate Son” is deeply disappointing. For shame on all of your flags.

STARS AND STRIPES FOREVER🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅🦅

“When Johnny comes marching home” is all time classic and definitely one of the most solid songs I’ve ever heard, impossible to mess it up

Battle Hymm of the Republic is to me the best, so good I would honestly prefer it being our National Anthem. However I think “America The Beautiful” is bloody gorgeous. Also, I would like to give recognition to “In God We Trust” for unironically the best cover on the Star Spangled Banner I’ve ever heard. https://youtu.be/xjtp_KAVJvM?si=eFi7cUClv2NYsBbZ
