1. Rally, Christians all,
At your country’s call,
Raise the Temp’rance banner high;
To redeem the land
From a tyrant’s hand,
Mighty foes you must defy.
Chorus:
Rally, Christians, for the right, (Rally, Christians, for the right)
Move resistless in God’s might; (Move resistless in God’s might,)
Soon the day dawn you shall see,
Day of glorious victory.
2. When we all unite
In the cause of right,
Then shall break the better day;
Though the good move slow,
The saloon shall go,
And its curse be done away.
3. If you love your land,
Bravely take your stand
For enforcement of the laws;
Then shall strike the hour
When the liquor pow’r
Shall respect the Temp’rance cause.
4. In defense of home,
Christian free-men come,
Raise the standard for the Lord;
Gird your armor on,
Stand fast ev’ry one,
Wield the Spirit’s mighty sword.
