LIFT EVERY VOICE AND SING
LYRICS BY: JAMES WELDON JOHNSON
SCORE BY : J. ROSAMOND JOHNSON (BROTHER)
Lift ev’ry voice and sing,
Til earth and heaven ring
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty
Let our rejoicing rise,
High as the list’ning skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling seas.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has brought 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.,
