Amen Corner

Empty every swollen feet

Of excess water

Empty every arrogant mind

Of mingled wine


Empty every ignorant fire

Of wood and spark

Empty every greedy trader 

Of vain bads


Empty every blind heart

Of filthy bribes

Empty every deaf ear

Of oily wool


Empty every depressed economy 

Of fear and anxiety

Empty every barren soil

Of iron and brass 


Empty every ill back

Of age-old bondage

Empty every full soul

Of needless poison


Empty every bitter spirit

Of anguish

Empty every contrary wind

Of power and effect


Amen.
