Many patriotic American songs are sung as hymns for patriotic holidays in my church.

"We Thank Thee For a Prophet"

We thank thee, O God, for a prophet
To guide us in these latter days
We thank thee for sending the gospel
To lighten our minds with its rays
We thank thee for every blessing
Bestowed by thy bounteous hand
We feel it a pleasure to serve thee
And love to obey thy command
When the dark clouds of trouble hang o'er us
And threaten our peace to destroy
There is hope smiling brightly before us
And we know that deliv'rance is nigh
We doubt not the Lord nor his goodness
We've proved him in days that are past
The wicked who fight against Zion
Will surely be smitten at last
We'll sing of his goodness and mercy
We'll praise him by day and by night
Rejoice in his glorious gospel
And bask in its life-giving light
Thus on to eternal perfection
The honest and faithful will go
While they who reject this glad message
Shall never such happiness know

I'm not sure if this is a "church song"....but I think my church might've sung this song before.

In any event it's beautiful song, beautiful lyrics. Be sure to turn up the volume, full blast.

Does 'Knockin' on Heaven's Door' count?

Don't laugh; we sang it at the "Youth Mass" Adelaide 1970s. Sister Janet Mead was in attendance. It wasn't a regular though.

Pange Lingua


HOLY THURSDAY: Pange Lingua Original Latin: PANGE, lingua, gloriosi Corporis mysterium, Sanguinisque pretiosi, quem in mundi pretium fructus ventris generosi Rex effudit Gentium. Nobis datus, nobis natus ex intacta Virgine, et in mundo conversatus, sparso verbi semine, sui moras incolatus miro clausit ordine. In supremae nocte cenae recumbens cum fratribus observata lege plene cibis in legalibus, cibum turbae duodenae se dat suis manibus. Verbum caro, panem verum verbo carnem efficit: fitque sanguis Christi merum, et si sensus deficit, ad firmandum cor sincerum sola fides sufficit. Tantum ergo Sacramentum veneremur cernui: et antiquum documentum novo cedat ritui: praestet fides supplementum sensuum defectui. Genitori, Genitoque laus et iubilatio, salus, honor, virtus quoque sit et benedictio: procedenti ab utroque compar sit laudatio. Amen.

SING, my tongue, the Savior's glory, of His flesh the mystery sing; of the Blood, all price exceeding, shed by our immortal King, destined, for the world's redemption, from a noble womb to spring. Of a pure and spotless Virgin born for us on earth below, He, as Man, with man conversing, stayed, the seeds of truth to sow; then He closed in solemn order wondrously His life of woe. On the night of that Last Supper, seated with His chosen band, He the Pascal victim eating, first fulfills the Law's command; then as Food to His Apostles gives Himself with His own hand. Word-made-Flesh, the bread of nature by His word to Flesh He turns; wine into His Blood He changes;- what though sense no change discerns? Only be the heart in earnest, faith her lesson quickly learns. Down in adoration falling, Lo! the sacred Host we hail; Lo! o'er ancient forms departing, newer rites of grace prevail; faith for all defects supplying, where the feeble sense fail. To the everlasting Father, and the Son who reigns on high, with the Holy Ghost proceeding forth from Each eternally, be salvation, honor, blessing, might and endless majesty. Amen.
