Thanks!

None of them...!
It's "God on High, hear my prayer..."
And the song is Bring him Home, written for Colm Wilkinson while he rehearsed the part of "Valjean" in the original gig in The Barbican, London. The song wasn't in the original score but B+S were so impressed with the Drimnagh mans voice that it was written overnight and handed to him...
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.

It's "God on High...". And it's in the song "Bring Him Home" sung by Jean Valjean in the second act.
