In the depth of deep recession
hopeless, helpless here we stand;
all around new fears are waking
anxious thoughts throughout this land.
While some live in wealth and comfort,
others struggle to be fed;
mothers queue at new-found food banks,
others look to find a bed.
Verses 2-3 follow
Tune: BETHANY; DIM OND IESU
Metre: 8.7.8.7.D
