The Ship of Temperance

Author: John G. Whittier Hymnal: Sacred Songs No. 1 #155 (1896) First Line: Take courage, temperance workers Refrain First Line: Sail on, O ship of hope Lyrics: 1 Take courage, temp’rance workers! You shall not suffer wreck, While up to God the people’s prayers Are ringing from your deck; Wait cheerily, ye workers, For daylight and for land, The breath of God is in your sails, Your rudder in His hands. Refrain: Sail on O ship of hope! Sail on for truth and right; The breath of God is in your sails, The haven is in sight! The breath of God is in your sails, The haven is in sight! 2 Sail on, sail on! Deep freighted With blessings and with hopes; The good of old, with shadowy hands, Are pulling at your ropes: Behind you, holy martyrs Uplift the palm and crown; Before you, unborn ages send Their benedictions down. [Refrain] 3 Speed on! Your work is holy, God’s errands never fail! Sweep on through storm and darkness wild, The thunder and the hail; Toil on, the morning cometh, The port you yet shall win! And all the bells of God shall ring The “Ship of Temp’rance” in! [Refrain] Topics: Temperance Tune Title: [Take courage, temperance workers]
