Music and Chorus of Voices from the church.
Praise, praise to heaven!
Sing of the conquer’d field, the Paynim flying,—
Light up the shrines, and bid the banners wave!
Sing of the warrior for the red-cross dying—
Chant a proud requiem o’er his holy grave!
Praise, praise to heaven!
Praise!—lift the song through night’s resounding sky!
Peace to the valiant for the Cross that die!
Sleep soft, ye brave!
