Come sons of Virginia our banner surround,
4 We've cast the bright wine e'cup away,
In chains Of lntemp'rance no more we are


bound,


We bow TO holer sway.
From mountain and valley, from seashore and


plain,


Ye sons Of Virginia arise
And let your loud anthems of freedom again
Ascend to the answering skies. a.s
Though darkness and gloom have encircled


the past, tF
Let us still gather on TO the fight,
For the nights darkest hours are always the
l, last, .a ....s.. .,..
And herald the dawning Of light.

Unawed by revilings united we stand,
Still trusting in aid from above,
Till all shall be gathered throughout our bese


land
In Temperance, Friendship and Love.
