Pain and disease
We observe all around.
Creatures are suffering
With no help to be found.
Man groans in pain,
From the curse suffering.
Not finding any peace,
From pain no buffering.
Christ knows our hurts.
Our suffering He bore.
With Him we’ll rise again.
In joy forevermore.
No suffering,
But, freed from curses pain.
Earth’s creatures will frolic,
The new world they gain.
