M'sieur, I bless your name
I am ready, Fantine
M'sieur, lay down your burden
At the end of my days
You raised my
child in love She's thebest of my life.
And you will be with god
Papa, Papa, I do not understand!
Are you alright? They
said you'd gone away.
Cosette, my child, am I forgiven now?
Thank God, thank God, I've lived to see this day.
Marius:
It's
you who must forgive a thoughtless fool
It's you who must forgive a
thankless man
It's thanks to you that I am living
And again I lay down
my life at your feet.
Cosette, your father is a saint.
When they
wounded me
He took me from the barricade
Carried like a babe
And
brought me home to you!
Now you are here
Again beside me
Now I can die in peace
For now my life is blessed...
Cosette:
You will live, Papa, you're going to live
It's too
soon, too soon to say goodbye!
Valjean:
Yes, Cosette, forbid me now
to die
I'll obey,
I will try.
On this page
I write my last
confession.
Read it well
When I at last a***eeping.
It's the story
Of those who always loved you.
Your mother gave her life for you
Then gave you to my keeping.
[The other spirits, including Eponine
appear.]
Fantine:
Come with me
Where chains will never bind you
All your grief
At last, at last behind you.
Lord in Heaven,
Look
down on him in mercy.
Valjean:
Forgive me all my trespasses
And
take me to your glory.
Fantine and Eponine:
Take my hand
And
lead me to salvation.
Take my love,
For love is everlasting.
Valjean, Fantine, and Eponine:
And remember
The truth that once
was spoken
To love another person
Is to see the face of God!
Finale
Chorus:
Do you hear the people sing
Lost in
the valley of the night?
It is the music of a people
Who are climbing to
the light.
For the wretched of the earth
There is a flame that never
dies.
Even the darkest night will end
And the sun will rise.
They will live again in freedom
In the garden of the Lord.
They
will walk behind the plough-share,
They will put away the sword.
The
chain will be broken
And all men will have their reward.
Will you
join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere
beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Do you hear the
people sing?
Say, do you hear the distant drums?
It is the future that
they bring
When tomorrow comes!
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Do you hear the people sing?
Say,
do you hear the distant drums?
It is the future that they bring
When
tomorrow comes...
Tomorrow comes!
