Lyrics
CHORUS:
The children of Seth praised God.
For seven generations
They praised God
As Lord of the universe.
But in time
They paid Him no honour,
They made Him their enemy.
They did not care for justice,
They despised what was good
Because they were confident
In their own strength.
BARITONE SOLO:
But Noah was uneasy -
He pleaded
That they might change their minds
And deeds.
But seeing they would not yield to him
He departed from that land.
CHORUS:
Now God became angry.
He resolved to destroy the human race
And make another free from wickedness.
BARITONE SOLO:
But God loved Noah for his goodness.
He bade him make an ark -
And Noah entered the ark.
Also his wife his sons their wives.
So Noah alone with his family was saved.
