Lyrics:

He

- Artists; The McGuire Sisters as sung on 'The Very Best Of The McGuire Sisters'
MCA Records MSC@-35272
- peak Billboard position # 10 in 1955
- competing version charted by Al Hibbler at # 4
- later charted by The Righteous Brothers at # 18 in 1966
- Words and Music by Richard Mullen and Jack Richards


He can turn the tides and calm the angry sea
He alone decides who writes a symphony
He lights ev'ry star that makes the darkness bright
He keeps watch all through each long and lonely night

He still finds the time to hear a child's first prayer
Saint or sinner calls and always finds him there
Though it makes him sad to see the way we live
He'll always say 'I forgive'

He can touch a tree and turn the leaves to gold
He knows every lie that you and I have told
Though it makes him sad to see the way we live
He'll always say 'I forgive'

He forgives
