Deserved As Demanded

Oh Lord of eternity, Father of every life.' Bringer also, of rest you
Close every eye in death, I think on Moses he stood before
You and pleaded the cause of a nation.' You said you would
Raise uo decendants from the stones for him.' Yet he went
On pleading..To what avail.? It seemed a fair thing to do.?
Yet truly God you know better than any man! In this case I
Now say Lord God have your way, I will not in this age try
Your reason..I say do as you will O Lord ' do not stay your
Hand..Strike and do not hold back.! Do your will O Lord
Send the pestilence and fire.' Upon the wicked the earth is
Yours and all in it..Why should your servants labour in vain?
Why should we weary you with the needs of mankind?
Those who proclaim 'there is no God.'
