We wait beneath the furnace blast	A
The pangs of transformation	B
Not painlessly doth God recast	A
And mould anew the nation	B
Hot burns the fire	C
Where wrongs expire	D
Nor spares the hand	E
That from the land	E
Uproots the ancient evil	F
	-
The hand breadth cloud the sages feared	G
Its bloody rain is dropping	H
The poison plant the fathers spared	I
All else is overtopping	H
East West South North	J
It curses the earth	K
All justice dies	L
And fraud and lies	L
Live only in its shadow	M
	-
What gives the wheat field blades of steel	N
What points the rebel cannon	B
What sets the roaring rabble's heel	N
On the old star spangled pennon	B
What breaks the oath	O
Of the men o' the South	P
What whets the knife	Q
For the Union's life	Q
Hark to the answer Slavery	R
	-
Then waste no blows on lesser foes	S
In strife unworthy freemen	B
God lifts to day the veil and shows	S
The features of the demon	B
O North and South	P
Its victims both	O
Can ye not cry	T
Let slavery die	T
And union find in freedom	U
	-
What though the cast out spirit tear	V
The nation in his going	H
We who have shared the guilt must share	V
The pang of his o'erthrowing	H
Whate'er the loss	W
Whate'er the cross	W
Shall they complain	B
Of present pain	B
Who trust in God's hereafter	C
	-
For who that leans on His right arm	X
Was ever yet forsaken	B
What righteous cause can suffer harm	X
If He its part has taken	B
Though wild and loud	Y
And dark the cloud	Y
Behind its folds	Z
His hand upholds	Z
The calm sky of to morrow	M
	-
Above the maddening cry for blood	A2
Above the wild war drumming	H
Let Freedom's voice be heard with good	B2
The evil overcoming	H
Give prayer and purse	C2
To stay the Curse	C2
Whose wrong we share	V
Whose shame we bear	V
Whose end shall gladden Heaven	B
	-
In vain the bells of war shall ring	H
Of triumphs and revenges	C2
While still is spared the evil thing	H
That severs and estranges	C2
But blest the ear	D2
That yet shall hear	D2
The jubilant bell	E2
That rings the knell	E2
Of Slavery forever	C
	-
Then let the selfish lip be dumb	U
And hushed the breath of sighing	H
Before the joy of peace must come	U
The pains of purifying	H
God give us grace	C2
Each in his place	C2
To bear his lot	F2
And murmuring not	F2
Endure and wait and labor	C
