lift every voice and sing

i got something in my bone

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 hast brought us thus far on the way

thou who hast by the light

led us into the light

keep us forever in the path we pray

lest our feet stray from the places our god where we

lest our hearts

drunk with the wine of the world

we forget thee

shadowed beneath thy hand

may we forever stand

true to our gody

true to our native land

facing the rising sun of our new day has begun

let us march on till victory is won
