Save the People

JESUS
When wilt thou save the people?
O God of mercy, when?
Not kings and lords but nations
Not thrones and crowns but men
Flowers 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?
O 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
O save the people
From despair
God, save the people

CHORUS
O God, save the people

JESUS
God, save the people

CHORUS
O God, save the people

JESUS
God, save the people

CHORUS
O God, save the people

JESUS
God, save the people

CHORUS
O God, save the people

ALL
When wilt thou save the people?
O God of mercy, when?
The people, lord, the people
Not thrones and crowns but men
God, save the people (save us)
For thine they are
Thy children as thy angels fair (God, save the people)
O, save the people (God, save the people)
From despair (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
God, save the people
