THE NEW YEAR - ZaunköniG - 18.04.2022
THE NEW YEAR.
Now let there be on earth an end of sin,
And all contention cease throughout the world ;
The glorious reign of HOLINESS begin,
And Satan's empire to the dust be hurled !
Let PEACE, at last, a final victory win !
Let WAR'S red banner be forever furled !
Resolve, Mankind ! to love and bless each other ;
Forget each hateful caste, each jarring creed ;
Behold in every man a friend and brother,
And minister to him as he hath need.
Are ye not children of a common Father?
Then to His will implicitly give heed :
So Crime and Poverty shall disappear,
And perfect bliss shall crown each new-born Year !
