Respuesta :

D.The idea of the importance of temperance reform

Answer:

C. The belief that social reform required direct work with sin and sinners.

Explanation:

One of the most important characteristics of the Second Great Awakening was the fact that it placed emphasis not only on virtuous thoughts, but also on  actions that were guided by these thoughts and that were intended to improve society and help the less fortunate ones. These ideas gave rise to various social movements inspired by Christian ideology, such as the temperance movement and the anti-slavery movement.

In this passage, the hymn refers to the importance of such movements by saying "all our various movements guide." It also talks about the importance of helping those unfortunate ones who have sinned, by asking God to be "the sinner's friend."
