Lift Every Voice And Sing

(album: America America - 2012)

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.
Now God of our winnings,
And God of our silent tears
Thou who has brought us thats fire
Thou who has by thy mind let us into the guide
Keep us forever in the palm, we pray.

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.
