I thought we'd had a discussion about this that included swapping recipes, but I guess that was a discussion someplace else. Here are temperance words I posted a few years ago. Here's the version from a Regular Baptist Hymn book O COME AWAY (Baptist hymn) O come, come away, from sin, that dreadful monster, Let Christ awhile, upon you smile-- O! come, come away: O! come and taste redeeming love, And then his truth and friendship prove, And onward sweetly move-- O! come, come away. From death and the curse, in which you now are sinking, Redeeming love, you will remove-- O! come, come away: O! come along and join our throng, And with us sing this charming song, And heaven shall be your home-- O! come, come away. While watchmen are standing, on the walls of Zion, Inviting you, to join in too-- O! come, come away: O! will you still refuse the call And into misery blindly fall And drink that burning gall-- O! come, come away. The bright morn of youth, will soon be gone forever, Its morning light may set in night-- O! come, come away: O! come while youth is in its prime And seek redeeming love divine, And in Christ's army shine-- O! come, come away. When free from the world, of sorrow and temptation, We'll sail above on wings of love, O! come, come away: And while angelic armies sing, And make the heavenly arches ring, We'll praise our eternal King-- O! come, come away. The Sweet Songster, a collection of the most popular and approved Songs, Hymns and Ballads / by Edward W. Billups. Wayne, W.Va.: Arrowood Brothers, 1854. Hymn 168, p.190-191.
