"Wind's Four Quarters", which is a sung prayer to the Shina'in Goddess 
of Mercedes Lackey's "Vows & Honor" stories (the Tarma and Kethry tales,
which are my personal favorites). The incident (without the lyrics) is
in the story, "Sword-Sworn", in _Sword & Sorceress #3 (which SHOULD have 
been the first chapter of _Oathbound).

Also, "Soldier, Ask Not", the Friendly hymn from the Dorsai stories of
Gordon Dickson.
