GOD Save the People

When wilt Thou save the people?
o God of mercy. when?
Not kings and lords. but nations?
Not thrones and crowns, blu. men!
Flowers of Thy Heart, o God, are

Let them not pass. like weeds. away,
Their heritage sunless day.
God save the people!
Shall crime bring crime forever.
Strength aiding still the strong?
Is it Thy will, o Father,
That man shall toll for wrong?
No! say Thy mountains, No! Thy
Mans clouded sun shall brightly rise,
And songs ascend instead of signs.

Not thrones and crowns, but men!

Childhood and love with angels fair:
From sin and bondage and despair,
God save the people,
