Drink water, pure water

Author: F. E. Belden Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Bible Songs Temperance Songs First Line: Water, pure water, that sparkles so bright Lyrics: 1 Water, pure water, that sparkles so bright, Beautiful, fresh and free! Falling from heaven like jewels of light, Falling for you and me; Fresh from the bountiful Giver of all, Nothing so pure can be; This is the song of the showers that fall Over the lake and lea: Chorus: Drink water, pure water, Drink water, pure water, Drink, drink, drink, Drink, drink, drink, drink, Drink, drink, drink, drink, drink, Drink pure water. 2 Water, pure water, for young and for old, Poured by the hand divine; Give me pure water so healthful and cold, Fill up this cup of mine; Sweet is the breath of the blossoming spring, Kissed by the silver rain; Gay is the song that the little birds sing Over the hill and plain: [Chorus] 3 Water, pure water, yes this is the song, This is the theme for you; This is the drink for the youthful and strong, Pure as the morning dew. This is the gift from our Father's own hand, In every land 'tis found; This is the song of the temperance band Echoed the world around: [Chorus] Scripture: Matthew 5:45 Used With Tune: WATER, PURE WATER

Yes, sleeping on guard

Author: Arthur W. French Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Bible Songs Temperance Songs First Line: Out from the campfire's red glowing Lyrics: 1 Out from the campfire's red glowing, Cheerfully shedding its light, On to the pickets we're going, For the long watches of night; Let us be careful that slumber Press not our eyelids too hard, Surely not one of our number Must be found, sleeping on guard. Chorus: Yes, sleeping on guard, Sleeping on guard, No! surely not one of our number Must be found sleeping on guard. 2 Yonder Rum's camp lights are burning; Hark to the revelry there! Waiting the conflict returning, Scouts are abroad ev'rywhere; We must be watchful and ready, See ev'ry entrance is barred, Keeping our heads cool and steady; All is lost, sleeping on guard. [Chorus] 3 Our aim is vigilance ever, We can allow no defeat; True hearted soldiers will never Join in the coward's retreat; Wary and watchful be keeping, Tho' the task be o'er so hard, Knowing what dangers come creeping, When we are sleeping on guard. [Chorus] Used With Tune: SLEEPING ON GUARD

Wine is a Mocker

Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: Bible Songs Temperance Songs First Line: Wine is a mocker, and strong drink is raging Lyrics: 1 Wine is a mocker, and strong drink is raging, And whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.

They that tarry long at wine, They that tarry long at wine, They that tarry long at wine. Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, Death lingereth there; And it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder; Look not thou upon the wine, It biteth like a serpent, Like a serpent, It biteth like a serpent, And stingeth like an adder. Look not thou upon the wine, upon the wine, upon the wine. Scripture: Proverbs 20:1 Used With Tune: [Wine is a mocker and strong drink is raging]

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Temperance Songs First Line: Hear, Lord, the voice of my complaint Lyrics: 1 Hear Lord, the voice of my complaint, Preserve my life from fear, Hide me from plotting enemies And evil crowding near. The workers of iniquity Their deadly shafts prepare; They aim at me their treach'rous words; O save me from their snare. 2 The wicked in their base designs Grow arrogant and bold; Conspiring secretly they think That God will not behold; They search out more iniquity, Their tho'ts and plans are deep, But God will smite, for He is near His saints to guard and keep. 3 The wicked, by their sins o'ercome, Shall soon be bro't to shame; The hand of God shall yet appear, And all shall fear His Name. The just shall triumph in the Lord, Their trust shall be secure, And endless glory then shall crown The upright and the pure. Scripture: Psalm 64 Used With Tune: MONORA

Complaint Against the Wicked

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Temperance Songs First Line: Why standest Thou afar, O Lord Lyrics: 1 Why standest Thou afar, O Lord, Why art Thou hid in trouble's hour? The wicked persecute the poor In haughty pride and reckless pow'r. 2 Let their devices work their fall, For in their shame is all their pride; And while they seek unrighteous gain The Lord of justice is defied. 3 The wicked thinks, in foolish pride, There is no God Who will repay; He has no fear of God or man Because God's judgments long delay. 4 Unmoved by fear of coming doom, On fraud and wickedness intent, With craft he lurks and waits to catch The helpless and the innocent. 5 A lion crouching for his prey, He waits the poor to overthrow; He thinks that God remembers not, Or hides His face and will not know. 6 Arise, O Lord, lift up Thy hand, O God, protect the poor and meek; Why should the proud Thy justice doubt, And words of bold defiance speak? 7 O Lord, Thou wilt indeed requite, The sin and sorrow Thou dost see; The helpless and the fatherless Commit themselves, O Lord, to Thee. 8 Break Thou the pow'r of wicked men And let their works no longer stand; The Lord is King for evermore, Who drove the nations from His land. 9 Lord, Thou hast heard the lowly prayer, The fainting heart Thou wilt restore, The helpless cause Thou wilt maintain, That mortal man may boast no more. Scripture: Psalm 10 Used With Tune: BRIGGS
