1 Crush the traffic out of sight, lift the standard of the right,
Let the weaker find a brother in the strong!
Bid the tempter flee away ‘neath the searching light of day,
And our land be cleansed forever from the wrong.

Chorus:
Crush it down! crush it down!
Crush it down! crush it down!
‘Tis a foe whose wiles we know, crush it down!
Boldly crush the traffic out, put its coward force to rout,
Crush it down! crush it down! crush it down!

2 Crush the traffic out of sight, let it sink in deepest night,
Let the shadow from the hearthstone lifted be;
Let the eyes made dim by tears see the glory thro’ the years,
And the watchers chant their psalm of jubilee. [Chorus]

3 Crush the traffic out of sight, crush it with Jehovah’s might,
Let the God of battles arm us as we go;
Holy One, ‘tis thou alone, who hast Satan overthrown;
Grant the blessing to thy warring hosts below! [Chorus]
