Take Courage, Temperance Workers !
You Shall Not Suffer Wreck,
While Up To God The People’s Prayers
Are Ringing From Your Deck ;
Wait Cheerily, Ye Workers,
For Daylight And For Land,
The Breath Of God Is In Your Sails.
Your Rudder In His Hand.
Sail On, O Ship Of Hope !
Sail On For Truth And Right
The Breath Of God Is In Your Sails,
The Haven Is In Sight !
The Breath Of God Is In Your Sails,
The Haven Is In Sight !
Sail On ! Sail On ! Deep-Freighted
With Blessings And With Hopes ;
The Good Of Old, With Shadowy Hands,
Are Pulling At Your Ropes ;
Behind You, Holy Martyrs
Uplift The Palm And Crown ;
Before You, Unborn Ages Send
Their Benedictions Down.
Speed On ! Your Work Is Holy,
God’s Errands Never Fail !
Sweep On Through Storm And Darkness Wild,
The Thunder And The Hail ;
Toil On, The Morning Cometh,
The Port You Yet Shall Win !
And All The Bells Of God Shall Ring
The Ship Of Temperance In !
