When wilt Thou save the people?
Oh, God of mercy, when?
The people, Lord, the people
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, oh Father
That men shall toil for wrong?
Oh, 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?
Oh God of mercy, when?
The people, Lord, the people
Not thrones and crowns but men
God save the people, for Thine they are
(Save us, Thine they are)
Thy children as Thy angels fair
(Oh God, save the people)
God save the people from despair
(God, save the people, 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)
Oh, God save the people
God save the people
God save the people
