Armageddon comes and we don’t find
The time to stop and think and wonder at
The wrath of God, the thunder of his mind
Is he the ground of being undefined?
The earth where seeds are nurtured by his hands
Armageddon comes and we are blind
He is not a sweet and compliant friend
Nor the lord of rich and fertile lands
His the wrath and his the thunderous mind
As the storms washed men off Kentish sands
So God hurls the energy he sends
Armageddon comes and we are blind
In these trials, whose hearts are refined?
Are we open, can we each attend,
His the sun and his the mighty mind
As on the rocky path we wary stand
Below despair, we find the deep commands
Armageddon, love and care are drained
The grief of God, the pity of his mind
