Hymn # 365

[John B]

A preacher was completing a temperance sermon: with great expression he said, "If I had all the beer in the world, I'd take it and throw it into the river."

With even greater emphasis he said, "And if I had all the wine in the world, I'd take it and throw it into the river."

And then finally, he said, "And if I had all the whiskey in the world, I'd take it and throw it into the river." He sat down.

The song leader then stood very cautiously and announced with a smile, "For our closing song, let us sing Hymn # 365: "Shall We Gather at the River."

[merlin]

Amen to that...Let us all gather at the River...

[meflick]

“the beautiful, beautiful river”

[preprius]

 

following is lyrics from an old 78  record my dad had.....

if the ocean was whiskey and I was a duck, i'd dive to bottom and never come up.

Rye whisky I cry, if I dont get rye whiskey I surely will dye.
