by signal to a concealed choir, it commenced
singing the hymn '' Nearer My God, to Thee"
This part of the surprise is described by Eliza

Quick signalled then the master,
Sweet sang the hidden choir,

Broke like wild desire.

Glad the clear strains outrang;
Nearer to Thee, oh, nearer,
Nearer my God to Thee.
