Verse 2:
Shall crime bring crime forever
Strenth aiding still the strong?
Is it Thy will of Father,
That man 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.

Not thrones and crowns but men?
God save the people,
For Thine they are,
Thy children, as Thy angels fair,
Save the people
From despair.
God save the people.
God save the people, x4
