"Wine is a Mocker"

Author: Rev. E. G. Taylor Appears in 14 hymnals First Line: Wine is a mocker! and strong drink is raging Refrain First Line: The Bible, the Bible, the Bible says so Lyrics: 1 Wine is a mocker! and strong drink is raging, For so does the Bible declare: Oh, touch not the glass, then, however engaging, Of all its allurements beware. Chorus: The Bible, the Bible, the Bible says so, That win is a mocker we know, ah, we know. 2 Wise is a mocker! though seems it so charming, Though friends call it wholesome and good; There's mischief there lurking that ever is harming, To fire and to poison the blood. [Chorus] 3 Win is a mocker! it leads into sinning The thousands who perish from drink: 'Tis here that the drunkard has had his beginning, The first step that caused him to sink. [Chorus] 4 Wine is a mocker! at first 'tis alluring, At last like an adder it stings: And bites like a serpent, with poison enduring, And mis'ry and wretchedness brings. [Chorus] 5 Wine is a mocker! the social glass shun it, Oh, linger not where 'tis in sight. Oh, dash it away from you, look not upon it, Stand firm and be true to the right. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Wine is a mocker! and strong drink is raging]

His blood atoned for all our race, And sprinkles now the throne of grace. 3 My God is reconciled; His pard'ning voice I hear; He owns me for his child; I can no longer fear. With confidence I now draw nigh, And Father, Abba, Father, cry.
