Save the People |
| When wilt thou save the people? |
| Oh God of mercy, when? |
| Not kings and lords, but nations |
| Not thrones and crowns, but men! |
| Flow’rs of thy heart, o God, are they; |
| Let them not pass, like weeds, away |
| Their heritage a sunless day |
| God save the people |
| Shall crime bring crime forever |
| Strength aiding still the strong? |
| Is it thy will, o Father |
| That men shall toil for wrong? |
| «No», say thy mountains; |
| «No», say thy skies; |
| Man’s clouded sun shall brightly rise |
| And songs be heard instead of sighs |
| God save the people |
| When wilt thou save the people? |
| Oh God of mercy when? |
| The people, Lord, the people |
| Not thrones and crowns, but men! |
| God save the people, for thine they are |
| Thy children as thy angels fair |
| God save the people from despair |
| God save the people |
| Oh God save the people! |
| God save the people! |
| Oh God save the people! |
| God save the people |
| Oh God save the people! |
| God save the people! |
| Oh God save the people! |
