We ask not "grog courage," so vaunted;
Let it blow as it never yet blew !
To ride amidst breakers undaunted
Is the vaunt of a Temperance crew!
CHORUS.

To ride amidst breakers undaunted
Is the vaunt of a Temperance crew.

Down anchors-pay out-let her swing free and wide;
As our hearts, so our cables are true;

Like a sea bird she sits!-now she breasts the rough tide!

Hold on then, brave Temperance crew.

CHORUS.

Like a sea bird she sits, as she breasts the rough tide!
Hold on then, brave Temperance crew.

Come, a bright, bright look-out. Hail each lull, or a pause

In the gale!-we have death in our view!

But may weather the squall-for in God and our cause Is the trust of a Temperance crew.

CHORUS.

But may weather the squall, for in God and our

cause

Is the trust of a Temperance crew.

Bear a hand-the storm lulls—and the tide sets off fast, Ere again the wild hurricane brew.

Set her topsails, and slip-and the danger is past;

Then huzza for a Temperance crew!

CHORUS.

Set her topsails, and slip-and the danger is past;
Then huzza for a Temperance crew.
