Lift Every Voice And Sing

Lift every voice and sing 'Til 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 'til victory Is won God of our weary years, God of our silent tears Thou who has brought us thus far on the way Thou who has by thy might lead 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, oh, oh, oh Shadowed beneath thy hand May we forever stand True to our God True to our native land
