Hark! I hear the captain calling Earnestly and long: "Rocks ahead! tho' breakers threaten Bear a hand - be strong!" chorus: Man the lifeboat, blaze the signal Never can we fail; No the nation must be rescued Temp'rance shall prevail! From amid the storm and danger Faithful, tried and true, Though a mighty host opposes Stand the Temp'rance crew. (chorus) Loud the billows dash around us Oe'r the angry sea Night comes on and souls are dying Will ye idle be? (chorus)
