LIFT EVERY VOICE AND SING
1st verse Lift every voice and sing, 'til earth and heaven ring, ring with
the harmonies of liberty. Let our rejoicing rise, high as the glist'ning 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.
2nd verse Stony the road we trod, bitter the chast'ning 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 sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered, we have come, treading our path thru the blood of the slaugh tered. Out through the gloomy past, till now we stand at last, where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
