Amen. Used With Tune: TON-Y-BOTEL

Amen. Used With Tune: GREENLAND

God save the people! 2 Shall crime bring crime for ever, Strength aiding still the strong? Is it Thy will, O Father, That man shall toil for wrong? "No," say Thy mountains; "No," Thy skies; Man's clouded sun shall brightly rise, And songs ascend, instead of sighs; 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; Thine they are, Thy children, as Thine angels fair; From vice, oppression, and despair, God save the people! Amen.
