It Is Not Fair

Author: Mrs. Frank A. Breck Hymnal: The New Praiseworthy #353 (1916) First Line: It is not fair that grief should so abound Lyrics: 1 It is not fair that grief should so abound, That want and degradation should ev'rywhere be found: Arm for the fight- our banners wide unfurled! It is not fair that rum should rule the world, It is not fair that rum should rule the world. 2 It is not fair that rum should blot out lives; It is not fair the demon should rob our babes and wives; No, 'tis not fair so many to enslave, It is not far, rise up, O men, to save, It is not fair, rise up, O men, to save. 3 It is not fair that rum should smite the will, Should palsy soul and body- should blast and blight and kill; Rise, men, for war! put down this monster foe, It is not fair that wrong should triumph so, it is not fair that wrong should triumph so. 4 It cannot be that God's own work should fail, That soldiers should be cowards- should falter, shirk and quail; Dare, men, arise! your faith and strength renew, And ye shall win- for God will be with you, And ye shall win- for God will be with you.
