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!
