How can humans cause such carnage,
ravage all the earth?
How can people slaughter children
they have brought to birth?
Have we lost all moral sense,
or is this just our human curse?

When we turn the page of history
life can seem so cheap.
As we read of Herod’s hatred
we are moved to weep.
But the path that we will tread
will still betray the faith we keep.

Verse 3 follows
Tune CHRIST TRIUMPHANT
