| How long O Lord how long O Lord how long | B |
| Wilt Thou endure this crime and there above it | A |
| Look down on Earth nor sweep away the wrong | B |
| Are these Thy teachings Where is then that pity | C |
| Which bade the weary suffering come to Thee | C |
| War takes its toll of life in field and City | C |
| And Thou must see O Christianity | C |
| And then the children Oh Thou art another | D |
| Not God but Fiend whom God has given release | E |
| Will prayer avail naught tears of father mother | D |
| To give at last the weary world surcease | E |
| From butchery that back again hath brought her | D |
| Into that age barbarian that priced | F |
| Hate above Love and shod with steel and slaughter | D |
| Stamped on the Cross and on the face of Christ | F |
