We praise Thee, if one rescued soul, Too long the slave of guilt and pain, Hath shuddering left the poisonous bowl, For health and liberty again. We praise Thee, if one clouded home, Where broken hearts despairing pin'd, Behold the sire, and husband come Erect, and in his perfect mind:— No more a hapless wife to mock, Till all her hopes in anguish end,— No more the trembling babe to shock, And sink the father in the fiend. Still give us grace, Almighty King, Unswerving at our post to stand, Till grateful to thy shrine we bring The tribute of a ransomed land,— Which, from the pestilential chain Of foul Intemperance gladly free,— Shall spread its annal free from stain To all the nations, and to Thee.
