Battle Hymn of the Republic (var. 1)
With the great and lovely lillies
Christ was born across the sea
With a passion that lamented
All the sins of you and me
As he died to make us holy
Let us die to make men free!
His Truth is marching on
Christ was born across the sea
With a passion that lamented
All the sins of you and me
As he died to make us holy
Let us die to make men free!
His Truth is marching on

Would make an addition to the Battle Hymn (which was sung at military funeral of my grandfather who was ex-Salvation and British Armies.) The second line would ring true in countries west of the Israel coast.
