Lift Every Voice and Sing

Author: James Weldon Johnson Meter: Irregular Appears in 49 hymnals First Line: Lift ev'ry voice and sing, till earth and heaven ring Lyrics: 1 Lift ev'ry 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. 2 Stony the road we trod, bitter the chast'ning 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 fathers 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.

Jesus Is All the World to Me

Author: Will L. Thompson Meter: Irregular Appears in 319 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus is all the world to me, My life, my joy, my all; He is my strength from day to day, Without Him I would fall. When I am sad, to Him I go; No other one can cheer me so; When I am sad, He makes me glad; He's my friend. 2 Jesus is all the world to me, My friend in trials sore; I go to Him for blessings, and He gives them o'er and o'er. He sends the sunshine and the rain, He sends the harvest's golden grain; Sunshine and rain, harvest of grain; He's my friend. 3 Jesus is all the world to me, And true to Him I'll be; Oh, how could I this friend deny When He's so true to me? Following Him, I know I'm right, He watches o'er me day and night; Following Him, by day and night; He's my friend. 4 Jesus is all the world to me, I want no better friend; I trust Him now, I'll trust Him when Life's fleeting days shall end. Beautiful life with such a friend, Beautiful life that has no end; Eternal life, eternal joy; He's my friend. Topics: Jesus, Friend; Jesus, His Faithfulness Used With Tune: ELIZABETH
