Just now the help of God
We wonder why he does not heed

We have been taught to look above.
Jehovah's throne TO view:
He's God of Mercy and of Love.
No sneaking thing He'd do.
II is more like the wicked one
To dive beneath the sea-
And do the dirty work he's done
And then arise in glee
To jeer at victims swimming round,
And cast at them bomb,
And laugh to see poor humans drown.
The maid and babe succumb.
No more we think would God approve
OF such n wicked thing.
Than when the German airmen move
To poisoned candy bring
To little a unsuspecting child
Whose kind the Savior blessed.
That one so pure and meek and mild
To whom the suffering pressed
So. when YOU do His children kill,
And aid your wicked Turks,
You're fighting 'gainst the Makers
will:
He don't approve your works.
Then kaiser-Down upon your knees
And stay till you repent
We're tired of your satanic breeze.
