The remaining three hymns in the purple hymnal are America the Beautiful (to this day, we are probably still the only Canadians who can sing all four verses of it), Onward Christian Soldiers, and Battle Hymn of the Republic. Standard Christian staples, the first one neatly slotted itself into the British-Israelite beliefs of the WCG, and the latter two fit quite contiguously with the apocalyptic theme the church’s entire theology was based on.
