Hymn 365 "Should we gather at the river"

A minister was completing a temperance sermon. With great
         emphasis he said, "If I had all the beer in the world, I'd
         take it and pour 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 pour it into the river."
   
         And then finally, shaking his fist in the air, he said, "And if
         I had all the whiskey in the world, I'd take it and pour it
         into the river."
   
         Sermon complete, he sat down.
 
           The song leader stood very cautiously and announced with a
         smile, nearly laughing, "For our closing song, let us sing Hymn
         #365, "Shall We Gather at the River."
