Be still! Be still!
Blaspheme no more.
God help the babes, God bless the wives;
Shame on the priests that whet the knives,
Shame on the Church whose altar thrives
By wrecking peaceful peasants' lives.
Be still! Be still!
'Tis hell that drives.
How long, O Lord, before Thy shrine
Shall men pray Vengeance, God, is Thine,
