Les Misérables (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
Valjean Arrested/Valjean Forgiven
Constable 1: Tell His Reverence your story.
Constable 2: Let us see if he's impressed.
Constable 1: You were lodging here last night.
Constable 2: You were the honest Bishop's guest.
And then, out of Christian goodness,
When he learned about your plight.
Constable 1: You maintain he made a present of this silver.
Bishop of Digne: 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?
So, Messieurs, you may release him,
For this man has spoken true.
I commend you for your duty
And 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 bought your soul for God.
