’Tis Thine Alone, Almighty Name

’Tis Thine alone

al­migh­ty name

To raise the dead to life

The lost ine­bri­ate to re­claim

From pas­sion’s fear­ful strife.

What ruin hath in­tem­per­ance wrought

How wide­ly roll its waves!

How ma­ny my­ri­ads hath it brought

To fill dis­hon­ored graves!

And see

O Lord

what num­bers still

Are mad­dened by the bowl

Led cap­tive at the ty­rant’s will

In bond­age

heart and soul.

Stretch forth Thy hand

O God

our king

And break the gall­ing chain;

Deliverance to the cap­tive bring

And end the usurp­er’s reign.

The cause of tem­per­ance is Thine own;

Our plans and ef­forts bless;

We trust

O Lord

in Thee alone

To crown them with suc­cess.
