The National Anthem of the Northern States is the first couplet of an untitled poem by Visiphorus (f. 1570) set to the tune of Hymn 134. The poem is known as the "universal psalm" because it ascribes all humanity as the beneficiaries of the work of the Godhead and intercedes on behalf of all of them.
