     1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, 2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. 3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest. 4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. 5 Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: 6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. 8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them. 9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army. 11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts. 12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. 13 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves, 14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.(KJV)

1. We now implore the Holy Ghost 
For the true faith, which we need the most, 
That in our last moments He may befriend us 
And, as homeward we journey, attend us. 
Lord, have mercy. 

2. Shine in our hearts, O most precious Light, 
That we Jesus Christ may know aright, 
Clinging to our Savior, whose blood hath bought us. 
Who again to our homeland hath brought us. 
Lord, have mercy. 

3. Thou sacred Love, grace on us bestow, 
Set our hearts with heavenly fire aglow 
That with hearts united we love each other, 
Of one mind, in peace with every brother. 
Lord, have mercy! 

4. Thou highest Comfort in every need, 
Grant that neither shame nor death we heed, 
That e’en then our courage may never fail us 
When the Foe shall accuse and assail us. 
Lord, have mercy!
