Hymn #500

Raise the Standard High

Verse 1

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

Refrain

Raise the temperance standard high,
Shout the mighty battle cry;
Let the evil kingdom fall,
Sons of freedom, come ye all.

Verse 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.

Verse 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 temperance army strong.
