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.
H.R. 6188 would designate "Here Rests in Honored Glory," a composition by Donald B. Miller, as the official national hymn of the United States. The bill amends federal law (title 36 of the U.S. Code) to add this designation alongside other national symbols. The legislation does not involve any federal funding or specific implementation timeline—it is purely a symbolic measure that establishes a new official hymn for the country. This bill would affect all Americans by establishing a new national symbol, though it has no direct practical impact on government operations or budgets. Representative Virginia Foxx introduced the bill in November 2025.
