Lyrics

The verses include allusions to:

  • Psalm 114:4 "The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs".
  • Amen Corner, that part of a church where the most vocally devout worshipers congregate, as in the poem "Trouble in the Amen Corner".
  • The influenza pandemic of 191820. The topicality of that event suggests that Johnson wrote at least that verse. Unless and until an earlier version can be found, he can be credited with both the tune and the words.
