The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#1389

1389. Raise the standard high

1 Raise the standard high,
Sound the gath'ring cry,
Let the evil kingdom fall;
With a purpose true,
And a will to do,
Sons of freedom, come ye all.

Chorus:
Raise the temp'rance standard high,
Shout the mighty battle cry;
Let the evil kingdom fall,
Sons of freedom, come ye all.

2 Over sea and land,
With an iron hand,
Has the monarch held his sway;
But his rule shall cease,
And the reign of peace
Usher in the golden day. [Chorus]

3 Let the right prevail,
Let the evil fail
In the conflict fierce and long,
Till the land is free,
And the victory
Crowns the temp'rance army strong. [Chorus]
