Prayer for Deliverance

Gilbert K. Chesterton (1874-1936), "A Hymn," 2nd stanza, in his Poems (New York: John Lane Company, 1916), p. 76:
From all that terror teaches,
    From lies of tongue and pen,
From all the easy speeches
    That comfort cruel men,
From sale and profanation
    Of honour and the sword,
From sleep and from damnation,
    Deliver us, good Lord!
