On some of the old relays the terminals themselves are labeled with a tiny letter stamped onto the metal. On some you have to remove the screws and/or any lock tabs to see them. Is there any indication of that on your relay? Other relays have the designations cast in the plastic or bakelite -- again in fairly small letters. Typically horn relays are B for Battery, S for switch or horn button and H for horns.
Here is a drawing from the parts manual showing a relay. I don't know if yours is like this one or is a more modern type with the terminals arranged in a straight row. I drew in a typical schematic of the horn circuit.. Hopefully between Cli55er and JW you will have an answer as to the correct wire connections.

One last question:
Can you tell me exactly where the wire coming out of the steering column connects at the relay? The relay I have is an old one that is not labeled. I understand that the horn contact actually make the "ground". There is a small ground strap between 2 posts on the horn bracket.
