Les Misérables - 10th Anniversary Cast( Les Miserables - 10th Anniversary Cast ) Bring Him Home
God on high,
Hear my prayer.
In my need,
You have always been there.
He is young,
He's afraid.
Let him rest,
Heaven blessed.
Bring him home,
Bring him home,
Bring him home.
He's like the son I might have known,
If God had granted me a son.
The sons must die,
One by one, how soon they fly,
On and on.

And I am old and will be gone.
Bring him peace,
Bring him joy.
He is young,
He is only a boy.
You can take, you can give,
Let him be, let him live.
If I die,
Let me die, let him live.
Bring him home,
Bring him home,
Bring,
Him,
Home!

God on high
Hear my prayer
In my need
You have always been there
He is young
He's afraid
Let him rest
Heaven blessed.
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.
He's like the son I might have known
If God had granted me a son.
The summers die
One by one
How soon they fly
On and on

And I am old
And will be gone.
Bring him peace
Bring him joy
He is young
He is only a boy
You can take
You can give
Let him be
Let him live
If I die
Let me die
Let him live
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.

“Bring Him Home” serves as Valjean’s dramatic solo for the second act. After fighting alongside Marius, and coming to understand his true love for Cosette—from his letter to Cosette and from his aside in “Drink With Me”—Valjean begins to see Marius not merely as the upstart who wants to take his beloved daughter away, but also as a man who could be “like a son” to him and whose life is in grave danger. Valjean turns to God and asks Him to watch over Marius, even offering up his life in exchange for the young man’s.

This song was one of the last songs to be finalized for Les Miserables. Though the music and plot placement were already fixed by the creative team, English lyricist Herbert Kretzmer remained stymied by the song as late as August 1985 (the show was set to premiere in October). In Kretzmer’s own words:

We code-named this “Night Thoughts” to reflect the resentment, anger and jealousy that Valjean would feel as he contemplated this usurper. Yet the music I was given was ridiculously at odds—a stately, hymn-like progression of three ascending notes. The directors came round to discuss it and, as they left at 2am, [co-director John] Caird said: “Sounds like a prayer to me.”

The minute he said that, every door seemed to fly open. I was freed from delving into the murkier corners of Valjean’s mind and could instead give his blessing to a young couple in love. I stood for the rest of that night in my study and by 5am, Bring Him Home was written—17 days before the show opened.

In its finished form, “Bring Him Home” seems quite simple and repetitive, very like a prayer. However, it requires an extremely practiced tenor to pull off the song’s soft dynamics (only two lines are belted) and sustained use of the upper register. When the cast finally had their first rehearsal with the song, they were floored by what they heard. Ken Caswell, who was playing the Bishop, is remembered to have remarked, “You told us at the beginning that you couldn’t keep God out of the show. But you didn’t say you’d booked God to sing this song.”

• Bring Him Home (Les Misérables)

God on high, hear my prayer
In my need, you have always been there
He is young, he's afraid
Let him rest, heaven-blessed
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home

He's like the son I might have known
If God had granted me a son
The summers die, one by one
How soon they fly, on and on
And I am old and will be gone

Bring him peace, bring him joy
He is young, he is only a boy
You can take, you can give
Let him be, let him live
If I die, let me die
Let him live
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home
