415. God Save the Poor!

Lord, from Thy blessed throne,
Sorrow look down upon!
God save the Poor!
Teach them true liberty,
Make them from tyrants free,
Let their homes happy be!
God save the Poor!

The arms of wicked men
Do Thou with might restrain,—
God save the Poor!
Raise Thou their lowliness,
Succor Thou their distress,
Thou whom the meanest bless!
God save the Poor!

Give them stanch honesty,
Let their pride manly be,
God save the Poor!
Help them to hold the right,
Give them both truth and might,
Lord of all life and light!
God save the Poor!
