Godspell had a few good tunes too...
When will thou save the people, Oh, God of Mercy, when?
Thy people, Lord, the people. Not thrones and crowns, but men?
Flowers of thy heart Oh God art they?
Shall they not pass like weeds away?
Shall crime bring crime forever,
Strength aiding still the strong?
Is it thy will, o Father,
That men shall toil for wrong?
“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.
