Lift Every Voice And Sing
Lift every voice and sing
Till Earth and Heaven ring
Ring with the harmonies of liberty
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the listening skies
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun
Let us march on till victory is won
Stony, the road we trod
Bitter the chastening rod
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died
Yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our fathers died?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered
We have come, treading our path
Through the blood of the slaughtered
Out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast
God of our weary years
God of our silent tears
Thou Who hast brought us thus far on the way
Thou Who hast by Thy might, led us into the light
Keep us forever in the path, we pray
Lest our feet stray from the places
Our God where we met Thee
Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world
We forget Thee
Shadowed beneath Thy hand
May we forever stand
True to our God
True to our native land
True to our God
True to our native land
Till Earth and Heaven ring
Ring with the harmonies of liberty
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the listening skies
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun
Let us march on till victory is won
Stony, the road we trod
Bitter the chastening rod
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died
Yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our fathers died?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered
We have come, treading our path
Through the blood of the slaughtered
Out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast
God of our weary years
God of our silent tears
Thou Who hast brought us thus far on the way
Thou Who hast by Thy might, led us into the light
Keep us forever in the path, we pray
Lest our feet stray from the places
Our God where we met Thee
Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world
We forget Thee
Shadowed beneath Thy hand
May we forever stand
True to our God
True to our native land
True to our God
True to our native land
