Excerpt from Memorial Sermons: The Capture of Richmond, Some of the Results of the War, the Assassination of the President
The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him a habitation; my fathers' God, and I will exalt him. Exodus xv. 2. The past has been a week of great joy. Not one city, not one State, but the whole loyal North, from Maine to California, has been jubilant. Not waiting for Official requisitions, the people - spontaneously, unitedly, universally - have given thanks to God in prayer, have united in songs of thanksgiving, have thrown their flags and streamers to the winds, have made their houses from attic to cellar luminous with expressions of gladness; and at the call of authority, citizens have assembled with bands of music, amid the peal of cannon, with waving banners, in vast crowds, to congratulate each other, and give utterance to the general feeling of exultation.
