The New Song

Representative Text

1 Hear the new song, ringing
Over land and sea;
To the wretched bringing
Hope and victory.
Ringing, singing, bringing vict’ry
Over land and sea.
Ringing, singing, bringing vict’ry
Over land and sea.

2 Temp’rance banners waving,
See her armies fair;
Untold millions saving
From the tempter’s snare.
Waving, saving, craving vict’ry,
See her armies fair.
Waving, saving, craving vict’ry,
Over land and sea.

3 See the tempter dying,
Naught can save him now;
In the dust low lying,
Who to him will bow?
Lying, dying, sighing vict’ry,
Naught can save him now.
Lying, dying, sighing vict’ry,
Over land and sea.

4 On the breezes swelling,
Come the strains afar;
To the glad earth telling
His long reign is o’er.
Swelling, dwelling, telling vic’tyr,
Come the strains afar.
Swelling, dwelling, telling vic’tyr,
Over land and sea.

5 Ever drawing nearer,
Hear the glad new song;
Ever sweeter, clearer,
Hills and vales among;
Nearer, clearer, dearer, vic’try,
Hear the glad new song.
Nearer, clearer, dearer vict’ry
Over land and sea.
