I think they should leave it alone, but I understand why some people would want it changed in that context.
*edit* in thinking about this change, it actually makes more sense. When they say "true patriot love thou dost in us command" then it actually refers to the country being so strong,beautiful or whatever that it 'commands' us to love it. I actually like this better

I always thought it was a reference to Christ as well.
