'• WHAT IS WRONG
WITH THE WORLD?
What is wrong with the world?
Just a violation of the golden ru-
le.
That's all, by great and small.
What is wrong with the world?
Just a departure from the law of)
love.
What has it brought to the
world? War!
What is wrong with the world?
Why it's gathering what it sowed.
Oh! the crop is awful! crimes of
all kinds.
What is wrong with the world?
Babylon is fallen. She has made
all nations drink of the wine of
her wrath.
What is wrong with the world?
It seems the angol has thrust his
Sickle into the earth it must be
harvest time.
What is wrong with the world?
It seems the reaper has cast the
vine of the into the earth wine
press of God.
What is wrong with the world?
It seems the wine press is being
trodden.
As the blood has almost reached
the horse's bridle.
What is wrong with the world?
Babylon hath been a golden cup
in the Lord's hand, that made all
the earth drunken.
