WOMEN'S TEMPERANCE SONG.
God bless our Temp’ranee band Throughout our native land, And give us grace Our forces to unite For God, and truth, and right, And wage a winning tight To save our race. May women everywhere For Temperance declare, And join the tight; May we with hearts aflame Uphold our country’s fame, And save from guilt and shame Our honour bright. \\ here souls in bondage lie, May we, in love, draw nigh, Their chains to break; May we their way prepare, Uphold with faith and prayer, And shame and sorrow share, For Jesu’s sake. \\ here mothers weep for boys, Long loved and cherished joys, Now gone astray: May wc* their dwellings seek, A word of hope to speak, And for the* wanderer we.ik, In meekness pray. \\ here children c ry for bread, On hard, untended bed, Thy mercy show ; Help us to do our share Their future to prepare, And keep them from the snare That worketh woe. The Temp’rance women’s band Extend in every land \\ here people dw ell, Till all the race shall be From drink and crime set free, And in gkid songs to Thee Their praises tell. —Thomas Tiplady (Rev.)
