[bodytext] => Holy, Mighty and Immortal God! See the tragedy and suffering, So concerned with all your childrens' lot, Now beneath dark death's angel's wing. Hear the voices cry and supplicate, That you bid a halt to Thanatos, Bid the storm tornadoes to abate, Halt the Prince of Death and bitter loss!. Lord be merciful do turn the tide Of such suffering and tragedy You do mercifully plan aright, In your bottomless benighnity. Bid a halt to cruel Thanatos, Devatating cities and fair land, And be near especially to those Who are stricken and whose heart is rent. Hospitals and morgues are overfilled, But the loved ones can not enter in For a viewing of the dead and chilled, To determine death of loved a kin. Overwhelming is ths tragedy. As the stricken people mourn and grieve, Loss of loved ones, home and property, Unperturbed by suffering is the Chief. Cronies that neglect their job to do But that people of a future rob, On thier amguish these poor souls pursue To cling to you Lord as did ancient Job. Loss of means and goods and livelihood, To oneself and dear onhes to sustain, Only heaps of rubble - destitute In grim deprivation, shock and pain. Bless this good land Lord ,- good neighbors are Generous,and kind,- their last they give, Caring people come from near and far To sustain the broken down with grief. No one heeds the make or quality Of the offered goods and useful stuff, For a people struck with tragedy, Frowns not at a modest gift of love. . Holy, mighty and immortal God ! Have mercy on these people that so smart, Have pity on them all and leave them not, And heal the stricken and thei broken heart. .
