The words
Verse 1. ’Tis thine alone, almighty Name,
To raise the dead to life,
The lost inebriate to reclaim
From passion’s fearful strife.
Verse 2. What ruin hath intemperance wrought,
How widely roll its waves!
How many myriads hath it brought
To fill dishonored graves!
Verse 3. And see, O Lord! what numbers still
Are maddened by the bowl,
Led captive at the tyrant’s will,
In bondage heart and soul!
Verse 4. Stretch forth thy hand, O God, our King!
And break the galling chain;
Deliverance to the captive bring,
And end th’ usurper’s reign.
