THE Winds of God are blowing,
His tides are surging in,
A song triumphal, holy,
Above the battle's din —
When love shall reign and brutal power
No longer blight and slay,
For the Winds of God are blowing.
His tides roll in to-day!

O Earth, with strife and anguish rent,
The Winds of God are out,
And all the hosts of tyranny
Shall yet be put to rout!
A nobler age is coming on
When hate and greed and crime
Shall pass, as passed the loathly broods
Of primal swamp and slime;

When fairest forms the earth shall grace,
High aims the heart shall swell,
And the lilies of heaven bloom where now
Are the poison growths of hell!
By Life and Death, we will not swerve
Till earth's great years begin!
For the Winds of God are blowing,
His tides are surging in.
