Founded 1895
Founded 1895
Praise the Lord for every new addition
To dry ranks by local prohibition,
Praise the Lord, for it takes more than wishing
To win victory.
Praise the Lord, we're faced with a condition,
Praise the Lord, we've taken a position
Praise the Lord, for liquor demolition,
When we'll all be free.
So we wish you all a Merry Christmas,
A New Year to bring to glad fruition
What this Season means to men and nations
Peace, with victory.
