Lift Every Voice and Sing

Lyrics

• Verse 1

  Lift every voice and sing
  'Til Earth and Heaven ring
  Ring with the harmonies of liberty
  

• Verse 2

  Let our rejoicing rise
  High as the listening skies
  Let it resound
  Loud as the rolling sea
  

• Chorus 1

  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
  

• Verse 3

  Facing the rising sun
  Of our new day begun
  Let us march on 'til victory
  Is won
  

• Verse 4

  God of our weary years
  God of our silent tears
  Thou who has brought us thus
  Far on the way
  

• Verse 5

  Thou who has by thy might
  Lead us into the light
  Keep us forever in the path we pray
  

• Chorus 2

  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
  

• Verse 6

  Shadowed beneath Thy hand
  May we forever stand
  True to our God
  True to our native land
