Lyrics

[00:12.95] Tell his reverence your story
[00:16.09] Let us see if he's impressed
[00:17.90] You were lodging there last night
[00:19.95] You were the honest Bishop's guest.
[00:21.78] And then, out of Christian goodness
[00:23.94] When he learned about your plight
[00:25.88] You maintain he made a present of this silver...
[00:29.34] That is right.
[00:30.84] But my friend you left so early
[00:33.10] Surely something slipped your mind
[00:36.17] You forgot I gave these also
[00:38.65] Would you leave the best behind?
[00:44.18] So Messieurs you may release him
[00:48.30] For this man has spoken true
[00:51.44] I commend you for your duty
[00:54.81] And God's blessing go with you.
[01:01.76] And remember this, my brother
[01:08.84] See in this some higher plan
[01:14.62] You must use this precious silver
[01:19.11] To become an honest man
[01:24.97] By the witness of the martyers
[01:30.34] By the Passion and the Blood
[01:35.76] God has raised you out of darkness
[01:39.54] I have bought your soul for God!
