He did not turn away.
The sickness in the cradle,
The child left lost and weeping—
The poison in the well,
And lips to cry in vain,

The fire that scars the land,
The tolling funeral bell.

The tyrant on his throne,

How vast is God Almighty,
The hatred born in silence—
All things cruel and woeful—
The wars that burn the nations,
