Lift Every Voice and Sing Songtext

von Kim Weston

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 faith
That the dark past has thought 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

Stony, the road we trod
Bitter, the chastening rod
Felt in the days we've hoped
When unborn had died

Yet with a steady beat
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place
On which our fathers sighed

Let us march on till victory is won
Let us march on till victory is won
Let us march on till victory is won
