Lift Every Voice and Sing

Author: James W. Johnson, 1871-1938 Meter: 6.6.10.6.6.10.14.14.6.6.10 Appears in 49 hymnals Topics: Covenant Faithfulness Lyrics: 1 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. 2 Stony the road we trod, bitter the chastening rod, felt in the days when hope unborn had died; yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet come to the place for which our people sighed? We have come over a way that with tears has been watered; we have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered, out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last where the white gleam of our bright star is cast. 3 God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, thou who hast brought us thus far on the way; thou who hast, by thy might, led 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. Scripture: Exodus 15 Used With Tune: ANTHEM

We will not fear though earth be moved, for God is nigh to cheer us. Although the mountains quake and earth's foundations shake, though angry billows roar and break against the shore, our mighty God will hear us. 2 God's city is forever blest with living water welling; since God is there, she stands unmoved 'mid tumults round her swelling. God speaks and all is peace, from war the nations cease; the Lord of hosts is nigh. Our father's God Most High is our eternal dwelling. 3 Behold what God has done on earth; his wrath brings desolation. His grace, commanding wars to cease, brings peace in ev'ry nation. Be still, for he is Lord, by all the earth adored; the Lord of hosts is nigh. Our father's God Most High is our strong habitation.

We are redeemed from guilt and shame and called to holiness. But not for works which we have done, or shall hereafter do, hath God decreed on sinful men salvation to bestow. 2 The glory, Lord, from first to last, is due to thee alone; aught to ourselves we dare not take, or rob thee of thy crown. Our glorious Surety undertook to satisfy for man, and grace was given us in him before the world began. 3 This is thy will, that in thy love we ever should abide; that earth and hell should not prevail to turn thy word aside. Not one of all the chosen race but shall to heav'n attain, partake on earth the purposed grace and then with Jesus reign. Scripture: Ephesians 1:4 Used With Tune: ST. MATTHEW
