Cheerily, cheerily sound the joyful strain; <br />Happily, happily now we meet again, <br />Here we' stand, <br />On this cheerful temperance day, <br />Gracious God to thee we pray, <br />Let our cause, so righteous, sway <br />Every heart in the land. <br /> <br /> <br />Cheerily, cheerily sound the joyful strain; <br />Happily, happily, now we meet again; <br />We are here, <br />We who love the temperance cause, <br />We who wish for righteous laws, <br />We cold water girls and boys, <br />We are here-we are here. <br /> <br /> <br />Cheerily, cheerily sound the joyful strain; <br />Happily, happily, now we meet again; <br />Here we raise <br />Songs of praise to God, who sends <br />Blessings on our temperance friends. <br />On Him all our hope depends, <br />For the triumph of this cause.<br /><br />John Pierpont<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/temperance-jubilee/
