�Tis Thine
alone,
almighty
Name,
To raise
the dead
to life,
The lost
inebriate
to reclaim
From
passion�s
fearful
strife.
What ruin
hath
intemperance
wrought
How widely
roll its
waves!
How many
myriads
hath it
brought
To fill
dishonored
graves!
And
see, O
Lord, what
numbers
still
Are
maddened
by the
bowl,
Led
captive at
the
tyrant�s
will
In
bondage,
heart and
soul.
Stretch
forth Thy
hand, O
God, our
King
And break
the
galling
chain;
Deliverance
to the
captive
bring,
And end
the
usurper�s
reign.
The
cause of
temperance
is Thine
own;
Our plans
and
efforts
bless;
We trust,
O Lord, in
Thee alone
To crown
them with
success.
