Lift Every Voice and Sing

Author: James Weldon Johnson Meter: Irregular Appears in 49 hymnals Topics: Freedom 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 parents 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: Psalm 33:12 Used With Tune: LIFT EVERY VOICE

Refrain: I do not know how long 'twill be, Nor what the future holds for me, But this I know, if Jesus leads me, I shall get home some day. 2 Oftentimes my sky is clear, Joy abounds without a tear, Though a day so bright begun, Cloud's may hide tomorrow's sun. There'll be a day that's always bright, A day that never yields to night, And in its light the streets of glory I shall behold some day. [Refrain] 3 Harder yet may be the fight, Right may often yield to might, Wickedness awhile may reign, Satan's cause may seem to gain. There is a God that rules above, With hand of pow'r and heart of love; If I am right, He'll fight my battle, I shall have peace some day. [Refrain] 4 Burdens now may crush me down, Disappointments all around, Troubles speak in mournful sigh, Sorrow through a tear-stained eye. There is a world where pleasure reigns, No mourning soul shall roam its plains, And to that land of peace and glory, I want to go some day. [Refrain] Used With Tune: BEAMS OF HEAVEN
