Lift Every Voice and Sing James Weldon Johnson, 1871 - 1928

Lift every voice and sing, Till 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 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.
