1 Unfurl the Temp’rance Banner,
And fling it to the breeze;
And let the glad hosanna
Sweet over land and sea.
To God be all the glory
For what we now behold,
Oh, let the cheering story
In ev’ry ear be told.
2 Come, join the noble army,
Enlist now for the fight;
Maintain our nation’s honor,
Firm stand ye for the right.
Promote the cause of Temperance,
To aid poor fallen man;
Put on the glorious armor,
Be foremast in the van.
3 Then rally round the standard,
And let the work go on
Until the last dim vestige
Of intemperance is gone.
Be earnest in the battle,
Your weapons boldly wield;
You’ll surely gain the victory,
And make the monster yield.
