Mary A. Lathbury. (Chautauqua Song, 1875.) Lucy J. Rider.
1 The winds are whisp’ring to the trees,
The hill-tops catch the strain,
The forest lifts her leafy gates
To greet God’s host again.
Upon our unseen banner flames
The mystic two-edged sword,
We hold its legend in our hearts—
“The Spirit and the Word.”
CHORUS.
