Throughout
our
wide-spread
union,
What
cheering
scenes
arise,
The
temp'rance
flag
is
waving
Where'er
we
turn
our
eyes,
Bright
in
the
South
'tis
floating,
The
North
has
raised
it
high,
The
East
and
West
unfurl
it,
The
East
and
West
unfurl
it,
The
East
and
West
unfurl
it,
In
glo
-
ry
to
the
skies.

Ten
thousand
times
ten
thousand
Around
her
banner
stand,
Resolved
to
drive
intemperance
From
our
beloved
land.
From
every
rolling
river,
From
city,
town,
and
plain-
:
The
cry
is
heard,
Deliver
:
From
rum's
destructive
reign.

What
though
the
gifts
of
Heaven
On
every
hand
abound,
And
God's
abundant
blessing
Our
dear-loved
nation
crown-
In
vain,
with
lavished
kindness,
Do
all
these
blessings
come,
:While
drunkards,in
their
blindness,:
Bow
down,
the
slaves
of
rum.

Shall
we,
whose
souls
are
lighted
With
ardour
from
on
high,-
Shall
we,
to
men
benighted,
The
helping
hand
deny;
No,
no!
our
tongues,
unceasing,
Deliverance
shall
proclaim,
:Till
not
one
erring
mortal:
Shall
hear
the
drunkard's
shame.

Waft,
waft,
ye
winds,
the
story,
And
you,
ye
waters,
roll,
Till,
like
a
sea
of
glory,
It
spreads
from
pole
to
pole,
Till
the
last
wretched
drunkard
His
liberty
shall
gain,
:
And
temperance,
all
victorious,
:
Throughout
the
nation
reign.
This
is
one
of
the
early
tunes
on
the
subject
of
temperance,
but
the
author
of
the
music
and
words
is
unknown.
