Tasha Cobbs Leonard – ''Lift Every Voice And Sing'' Lyrics
Lift every voice and sing
Till 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 till 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
Shadowed beneath thy hand
May we forever stand
True to our God
True to our native land
