Lift Every Voice and Sing

Lift every voice and sing 'Till the Heaven ring Ring with the harmonies Of liberty Let our rejoicing rise High as the listening skies Let it resign 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 watch on 'till victory is won Now God of our winnings And God of our silent tears Thou who has brought us thus far Thou who has by thy mind let us into the light Keep us forever in the palm, we pray Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has thought 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
