- The hymn was very popular in Kania, and often recited in churches throughout the nation to close sermons. It wasn't until the hymn had been given a melody that it became the unofficial anthem of Kania by the mid-1870s. Jesus, Lover of My Soul was officially adopted as the national anthem of Kania in 1883 by the Federal Senate of Kania, at the recommendation of President Miles Davidson. Before 1883, there were no songs that were officially recognized by the government as the national anthem of Kania, though Jesus, Lover of My Soul did bear some officialdom before the music had been added in 1876.

Before 1883, there were no songs that were officially recognized by the government as the national anthem of Kania, though Jesus, Lover of My Soul did bear some officialdom before the music had been added in 1876. Today, only the first, second, and fifth stanzas are sung together as part of the national anthem. During sermons, some churches may opt to sing the hymn in its entirety, though most churches simply sing the hymn as it is already sung at the present. At certain events such as sport events, political debates, and the Olympics, only the first stanza is sung. All songs are ended by repeating "Amen" one to four times, depending on the importance of the event, regardless of the anthem's length.
