1391. Hear the temp'rance call

1 Hear the temp'rance call,
Freemen one and all,
Hear your country's earnest cry;
See your native land
Lift her beck'ning hand;
Sons of freedom, come ye nigh.

Chorus:
Chase the monster from our shore,
Let his cruel reign be o'er;
Chase the monster from our shore,
Let his cruel reign be o'er.

2 Leave the shop and farm,
Leave your bright hearths warm;
To the polls? the land to save;
Let your leaders be
True and noble, free,
Fearless, temp'rate, good and grave. [Chorus]

3 Hail! our Fatherland,
Here thy children stand,
All resolved, united true;
In the temp'rance cause
Ne'er to faint or pause!
This our purpose is, and vow. [Chorus]
