Christians celebrate Trump’s win with surprise hymn singing
Listen To Story Above
In a stunning turn of events, former President Donald Trump secured a resounding victory in Tuesday’s election, with exit polls indicating strong support from Christian voters. CNN reported that 62% of Protestant and “other Christian” respondents, along with 56% of Catholic respondents, cast their ballots for Trump. NBC’s exit polls showed similar results, with slightly higher percentages for both groups.
The election outcome dealt a blow to Vice President Kamala Harris’s last-minute attempts to appeal to American Christians. Her efforts were likely hampered by her past actions and statements that many viewed as hostile to religious liberty and traditional values.

As news of Trump’s landslide win spread, jubilant supporters gathered at the Republican’s victory party in Florida’s West Palm Beach County Convention Center. In a spontaneous display of emotion, some attendees broke into song, performing a heartfelt rendition of “How Great Thou Art” in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Lisa Boothe, host of “The Truth with Lisa Boothe,” captured the impromptu performance on video. She described the scene to Blaze News, saying, “All of a sudden, I just hear singing. I don’t know who started it, but it seemed very spontaneous. People started singing and then more people started joining in.”
Boothe was deeply moved by the experience, stating, “It was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. It brought me to tears and tugged on my heart.” She emphasized the diverse group of supporters coming together to celebrate their faith and the election outcome, despite having faced harsh criticism and disparagement from media outlets and political opponents.
The moment resonated with many online, with commentators praising the genuine joy and unity displayed by the singing crowd. BlazeTV’s Liz Wheeler tweeted, “I’m sobbing. God is so merciful. And my goodness these are the people who have been called garbage & Nazis and yet you see nothing but humble joy.”
Boothe reflected on the significance of the hymn in light of recent challenges faced by Americans, including restrictions on religious gatherings during the COVID-19 pandemic and government actions perceived as infringing on religious freedoms. She saw the spontaneous worship as a sign of hope and renewal after a difficult period in the nation’s history.

The video of the hymn quickly went viral, touching many viewers and prompting discussions about its deeper meaning. Some saw it as a powerful symbol of faith and perseverance in the face of adversity, while others viewed it as a unifying moment for a country often described as deeply divided.
As the nation processes the election results and looks toward the future, the impromptu rendition of “How Great Thou Art” serves as a poignant reminder of the role faith continues to play in American politics and society.
