Part 6: Patriotic Songs

43370
We held a Hymn Camp June 24-25, 2025, to learn 10 hymns and 4 patriotic songs.  These four listed here would count as American "patriotic hymns:" they are in many American hymnals today.  All came out at pivotal times in our history, after the Revolutionary War, during the Civil War, and at the dawn of the 20th century.

Patriotic Hymns:
“My Country ‘tis of Thee” (1832)
“Battle Hymn of the Republic” (1861)
“O Beautiful for Spacious Skies” (1904)
"This is my song" (1834)
“God of the Ages” (1876)
LINKS TO THE SONG-RECORDINGS ARE FORTHCOMING.

We were able to perform these at our own Wayne County (Indiana) 4-H Fair on June 24th, right before America's Fourth of July 2025 celebration.
