The following verses may be used for general occasions:

On the breeze, o'er the mountains and the waves, Comes a sweet sound of solemn gladness ringing, Breaks the silence of the long-forgotten graves: Tis the voices of God's chosen children singing. Not a war song, with Anger's mighty roar; Not a love song, with cadence softly blending: new song, unheard, unknown before, 'Tis a From the House of the Lord to heav'n ascending. Hosannah, etc.

II.

'Tis a song from His holy temples built On the land of His chosen and beloved, In whose fonts shall be washed away the guilt Of a people from the earth long since removed. 'Tis a shout of redemption and of love, 'Tis the sound of a people's glad rejoicing; 'Tis the echo of singing heard above That the children of blessed earth are voicing. Hosannah, etc.
