The choir sang it as originally written: As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free. Appropriate for Pres. Reagan.

I was very please they sang the original words also. Pres. Reagan was plain spoken and so is Pres. Bush. It was very appropriate. I almost cheered through my tears.

Agreed... We sang the original "died" version at my (PUBLIC!!!) high school graduation, and it is a beautiful song, especially when done in male/female harmony... we were a bunch of 18 year old kids and it came out impressively well, but this version was beautiful and put ours to shame.

It brought tears to my eyes as I watched the footage and listened.
