Mormon Tabernacle Choirs Battle hymn of the Republic. I think it fits.

Only if you don’t mind losing the southern states.

That rules out the unreconstructed.

I notice that this is the politically correct version--in the fifth verse, they sing, "let us live to make men free"--but in this wimped-out age, no one ever sings "let us die to make men free," as it was originally written, anymore.

I would love to hear a recording featuring the third verse:

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.
May the hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,
Since God is marching on."
I have never seen this verse in a hymnal or heard it in a recording.
