| Text: | Temperance ship |
| Tune: | TEMPERANCE SHIP |
1 Speed, speed the temperance ship,
Ye winds, fill every sail,
Behold her on the rolling deep,
Outriding every gale,
The tempest's fury she outbraves,
And hosts of deathless drunkard's saves.
2 Speed, speed the temperance ship,
Who joins us in the cry?
Mothers and children, cease to weep,
Our ship is passing by;
We wish to take you all on board,
A freight of mercy to the Lord.
