Selecting the right hymn

Tonight's humor:

A Baptist minister was completing his sermon on temperance. 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 and in his best fire-and-brimstone voice, 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 choir leader stood very cautiously and announced with a smile, nearly laughing, "For our closing song, let us sing Hymn 124, 'Shall We Gather at the River'."
