Great is your steadfast
love, Jesus,
and your faithfulness
endures forever.
Earth and heaven are
shaking from warfare;
you have observed the
misery of war’s victims;
you have heard their cry
and know their sufferings.
How can we rejoice in anything,
even our own salvation,
when all this pain and carnage
are inflicted on the helpless?
