|
<p>Our earth we now lament to see<br>
|
|
With floods of wickedness overflowed,<br>
|
|
With violence, wrong, and cruelty,<br>
|
|
The killing fields our constant abode,<br>
|
|
Where men like fiends each other tear,<br>
|
|
In all the hellish rage of war.</p>
|
|
<p>As listed on Abaddon’s side,<br>
|
|
They mangle their own flesh, and slay:<br>
|
|
Tophet is moved, and opens wide<br>
|
|
Its mouth for its enormous prey;<br>
|
|
And myriads sink beneath the grave,<br>
|
|
And plunge into the flaming wave.</p>
|
|
<p>O might the universal Friend<br>
|
|
This havoc of His creatures see!<br>
|
|
Bid our unnatural discord end;<br>
|
|
Declare us reconciled in Thee;<br>
|
|
Write kindness on our inward parts,<br>
|
|
And chase the murderer from our hearts!</p>
|
|
<p>Who now against each other rise,<br>
|
|
The nations of the earth, constrain<br>
|
|
To follow after peace, and prize<br>
|
|
The blessings of Thy righteous reign,<br>
|
|
The joys of unity to prove,<br>
|
|
The paradise of perfect love!</p>
