Paroles de Valjean Arrested / Valjean Forgiven

ConstablesTell his reverence your storyLet us see if he's impressedYou were lodging there last nightYou were the honest Bishop's guest.And then, out of Christian goodnessWhen he learned about your plightYou maintain he made a present of this silver-- BishopThat is right.But my friend you left so earlySurely something slipped your mind [The bishop gives Valjean two silver candlesticks.] You forgot I gave these alsoWould you leave the best behind?So Messieurs you may release himFor this man has spoken trueI commend you for your dutyMay God's blessing go with you.But remember this, my brotherSee in this some higher planYou must use this precious silverTo become an honest manBy the witness of the martyrsBy the Passion and the BloodGod has raised you out of darknessI have bought your soul for God!
