Chorus: The Bible, the Bible, the Bible says so, That win is a mocker we know, ah, we know. 2 Wise is a mocker! though seems it so charming, Though friends call it wholesome and good; There's mischief there lurking that ever is harming, To fire and to poison the blood. [Chorus] 3 Win is a mocker! it leads into sinning The thousands who perish from drink: 'Tis here that the drunkard has had his beginning, The first step that caused him to sink. [Chorus] 4 Wine is a mocker! at first 'tis alluring, At last like an adder it stings: And bites like a serpent, with poison enduring, And mis'ry and wretchedness brings. [Chorus] 5 Wine is a mocker! the social glass shun it, Oh, linger not where 'tis in sight. Oh, dash it away from you, look not upon it, Stand firm and be true to the right.

Wine is a Mocker

Hymnal: Triumphant Songs No.4 #185 (1894) First Line: Wine is a mocker, and strong drink is raging Lyrics: 1 Wine is a mocker, and strong drink is raging, And whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise, And whosoever, whosoever, whosever is deceived thereby is not wise, is not wise. Wine is a mocker, and strong drink is raging, And whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise, And whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise, Who hath woe, They that tarry long at the wine, Who hath sorrow, They that tarry long at the wine, Who hath contentions They that tarry long at the wine, Who hath babbling? They that tarry long at the wine, Who hath wounds without cause? They that tarry long at the wine, Who hath redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine. Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, When it moveth itself aright, Death lurketh there, For it biteth like a serpent, And it stingeth like an adder, For it biteth like a serpent and it stingeth, like an adder, And whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise, is not wise.

Person Name: *** Author of "Beware of the Bowl" in Lasting Hymns No. 2 In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
