Hymn 365
A southern Baptist 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."

Hey I found the hymn at the CyberHymnal with some notes on how the thing was written. It doesn't mention your story though...
