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
Flowers of Thy heart, oh, 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 as strong?
Is it Thy will, O Father?
That men shall toil for wrong?
Oh, no, say Thy mountains, no, say Thy skies
Men's clouded sun shall brightly rise
And songs be heard, instead of sighs
God save the people!
When will Thou save the people?
Oh, God of mercy when?
The people, Lord, the people
Not thrones and crowns but men
Oh, God save the people for Thy name God
Thy children as Thy angels fair
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)
When will God save the people?
Oh, God of mercy when?
The people, Lord, the people
Not thrones and crowns but men
God save the people (save us) for Thy name God
Thy children as Thy angels fair
Save the people (God save the people)
From despair (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)
God save the people (God save the people)
God save the people (God save the people)
God save the people (God save the people)
God save the people (God save the people)
Oh, God of mercy when?
Not Kings and Lords, but nations
Not thrones and crowns, but men
Flowers of Thy heart, oh, 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 as strong?
Is it Thy will, O Father?
That men shall toil for wrong?
Oh, no, say Thy mountains, no, say Thy skies
Men's clouded sun shall brightly rise
And songs be heard, instead of sighs
God save the people!
When will Thou save the people?
Oh, God of mercy when?
The people, Lord, the people
Not thrones and crowns but men
Oh, God save the people for Thy name God
Thy children as Thy angels fair
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)
When will God save the people?
Oh, God of mercy when?
The people, Lord, the people
Not thrones and crowns but men
God save the people (save us) for Thy name God
Thy children as Thy angels fair
Save the people (God save the people)
From despair (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)
God save the people (God save the people)
God save the people (God save the people)
God save the people (God save the people)
God save the people (God save the people)
