Save The People lyrics

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! 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, for thine they are. Thy children as thy angels fair: O, God save the people, Save the people, God save the people, From despair. God save the people! God save the people, O, God save the people, God save the people, O, God save the people, God save the people, God save the people, God save the people.
