“Come to us, O Holy Spirit—”
We shall Russia inherit.
“Listen to our plea, Lord, hear us,”
We must make the Russians fear us.
“The heavens of His glory tell—”
Russia shall treat us well.
“Thou art the world’s Saviour—”
We will set up a jolly corps.
“O Lord, we put our hope in Thee—”
Our stay shall be a constant spree.
“Free us from evil, we entreat—”
We shall feed on the choicest meat.
“To Thee, O Lord, we lift our prayer—”
We shall have ham and beef to spare.
“From the depths to Thee I cry—”
Their cellars will our wine supply.
“O Lord, let peace with us abide—”
Their kitchen-maids shall our sport provide.
“The gates of Hell shall not prevail—”
With joy their ignorance we hail.
