He made them, every one.
The Lord God made them all.
The sickness in the cradle,
The vulture and the serpent,
All things cruel and woeful—

The storm that shreds the forest,
And lips to cry in vain,
The plague that haunts the cities,
The fire that scars the land,
The hatred born in silence—
Who fashioned joy and pain.
All wrought by His own hand.
The child left lost and weeping—
The poison in the well,
All things dark and dreadful,
How vast is God Almighty,
The wars that burn the nations,
He did not turn away.
All terrors great and small,
The greed that rules the day,
The beggar cold and starving,
