Author: Anon. Appears in 39 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 9:25 First Line: Hear the temp'rance call Lyrics: 1 Hear the temp'rance call,
Freemen one and all,
Hear your country's earnest cry;
See your native land
Lift 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 Leave the shop and farm,
Leave your bright hearths warm;
To the polls? the land to save;
Let your leaders be
True and noble, free,
Fearless, temp'rate, good and grave. [Chorus]
3 Hail! our Fatherland,
Here thy children stand,
All resolved, united true;
In the temp'rance cause
Ne'er to faint or pause!
This our purpose is, and vow. [Chorus] Topics: Bible Songs Temperance Songs Used With Tune: THE TEMPERANCE CALL
