Subject: RE: What 'serious' song do you giggle through?
From Mendelssohn's Elijah one of the choruses is often used as an anthem by itself.

He, watching over Israel, slumbers not, nor sleeps.

I want to kill the person who pointed out what "slumbers not" sounds like when a chorus puts the terminal s over at the beginning of the next word.
