About

This song is where Jean Valjean is caught by the police when he tries to run away with the bishops silver. But when the police take him to the bishop the bishop tells them that he is telling the truth, the bishop then gives Jean Valjean precious silver to become and honest and good man

The Bishop Lyrics

[POLICE, spoken]
Monsignor, we have your silver
We caught this man red-handed
He had the nerve to say you gave him this

[BISHOP]
That is right
But my friend you left so early
Surely something slipped your mind
You forgot I gave these also;
Would you leave the best behind?

Monsieur, release him
This man has spoken true
I commend you for your duty
Now God's blessing go with you

But remember this, my brother
See in this some higher plan
You must use this precious silver
To become an honest man

By the witness of the martyrs
By the passion and the blood
God has raised you out of darkness:
I have saved your soul for God
