The Temperance Call
Hear the temp'rance call,
1
Hear the temp'rance call,Freemen one and all,Hear your country's earnest cry;See your native landLift her beck'ning hand;—Sons of freedom, come ye nigh.
Chorus.
Chase the monster from our shore,Let his cruel reign be o'er;Chase the monster from our shore,Let his cruel reign be o'er.
2
Chase the monster from our shore,Let his cruel reign be o'er, be o'er.
2
Leave the shop and farm,Leave your bright hearths warm;To the polls! the land to save;Let your leaders beTrue and noble, free,Fearless, temp'rate, good and brave.
3
Hail! our Fatherland,Here thy children stand,All resolved, united, true;In the temp'rance causeNe'er to faint or pause!This our purpose is, and vow.
