<br>

[JESUS]<br>

When wilt thou save the people?<br>

Oh God of mercy when?<br>

The people, Lord, the people<br>

Not thrones and crowns,<br>

But men<br>

Flowers of thy heart <br>

O God are they<br>

Let them not pass like weeds away<br>

Their heritage, a sunless day<br>

God save the people <br>

<br>

Shall crime bring crime forever<br>

Strength aiding still as strong?<br>

Is it thy will, O Father<br>

That men shall toil<br>

For wrong?<br>

Oh, no, say thy mountains<br>

No, say thy skies<br>

Man's clouded sun shall brightly rise<br>

And songs be heard, instead of sighs<br>

God save the people! <br>

<br>

When wilt thou save the people?<br>

Oh God of mercy when?<br>

The people, Lord! The people!<br>

Not thrones and crowns,<br>

But men!<br>

God save the people<br>

For thine they are<br>

Thy children as thy angels fair<br>

God save the people<br>

From despair<br>

God save the people!<br>

<br>

[CHORUS]<br>

Oh God save the people!<br>

<br>

[JESUS]<br>

God save the people!<br>

<br>

[CHORUS]<br>

Oh God save the people!<br>

<br>

[JESUS]<br>

God save the people!<br>

<br>

[CHORUS]<br>

Oh God save the people!<br>

<br>

[JESUS]<br>

God save the people!<br>

<br>

[CHORUS]<br>

When wilt thou save the people!?<br>

Oh God of mercy when!?<br>

The people, Lord! The people!!<br>

Not thrones and crowns,<br>

But Men!<br>

God save the people!<br>

Oh God save the people!<br>

God save the people!<br>

God save the people!<br>

God save the people!<br>

Oh God save the people!<br>

God save the people!<br>

Oh God save the people!<br>

God save the people!<br>

God save the people!<br>

God save the people!<br>
