Lord, what a thoughtless wretch was I, To mourn, and murmur, and repine, To see the wicked placed on high, In pride and robes of honor shine.

But, oh, their end, their dreadful end, Thy sanctuary taught me so, On slipp’ry rocks I see them stand, And fiery billows roll below.

I guess there’s an argument to be made that Greenwich’s lyrics are actually kind of anti-political action, like, “You don’t need to worry about evil people in power because god will take care of it,” but I prefer to read them with the emphasis on “They’re going to get what’s coming to them.” (Your picture was not posted)
