HR 6188 United States House · 119th Congress

To amend title 36, United States Code, to designate the composition known as "Here Rests in Honored Glory" by Donald B. Miller as the national hymn of the United States.

HR 6188 would amend U.S. law to designate "Here Rests in Honored Glory" (composed by Donald B. Miller) as the national hymn of the United States, replacing the current national anthem designation under Title 36. The bill adds a new section (307) to the U.S. Code specifying this composition as the official national hymn. This is a procedural change affecting national symbols, not a policy or funding measure. It directly affects how the United States formally recognizes its national musical emblem. The bill does not alter the status of "The Star-Spangled Banner" as the national anthem.
