Freemen, one and all!
Hear your country’s earnest cry;
See your native land
Lift its beck’ning hand;
Sons of freedom, come ye nigh.
Refrain:
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 brave. [Refrain]
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. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Hear the temp’rance call]
The Temperance Call
