Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing (Black National Anthem)

Author: James Weldon Johnson Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #653 (1999) Meter: Irregular First Line: Lift ev'ry voice and sing 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 bright 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.

By Trouble Oft I'm Overwhelmed

Author: C C Alleyne Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #654 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 By trouble oft I’m overwhelmed, By snares oft circumscribed, And yet thou thinkest Lord on me, Thou’rt ever near my side. 2 My earthly refuges doth fail, When foes my soul assail, And men deceive and friends deny, But Thou doth hear my cry. 3 The path I take Thou knowest Lord, It is beset with thorns, But I will ne’er its track forsake While glory’s in its wake. 4 It leads to bliss, O boundless love, From cross to crown I go, Then shall I shirk the cross below, And lose the crown above? 5 Awake, my soul and run thy race, Lay every weight aside, Thou soon shalt see thy Saviour’s face And 'round His throne abide. AMEN. Topics: Zion Connectional Hymns Scripture: Psalm 142 Languages: English Tune Title: COMFORT

Justice and Peace It Does Not Bode

Author: W J Walls Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #655 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Justice and peace it does not bode Some poor must always be Our Lord who said it was our mode, Came down to set them free. 2 You'll find Him where in dust and grime Path finders build the roads Who break the stones in sweat and brine Sing hymns that lighten loads. 3 There where the toiling masses pray In fields of waving grain He walks in sultry streets the way Of those whose wants make pain. 4 He's there with toilers in their round In mines and at the forge, Where ditchmen ope the desert ground Plowmen life's foliage. 5 Where infants are but poorly fed And crippled life endured Where there's no bare hospital bed And life's hope not assured. 6 And thereto where the tyrants have Usurped the natives' land And left its breadless tribes to starve And sleep on hardened ground. 7 The spirit leads him everywhere He brings the poor his word Freedom and health, peace without fear, He gives without the sword. 8 The Lord lifts his commanding hands And bids the millions move Oppressors loose your mighty bands For prayer has freed the slave. 9 Christ Jesus too is not dismayed To drop his robe of white To tattered be and stained in blood To share the people's plight. 10 He takes not incense for our deeds Nor ceremonies art Nor anthems loaded with our creeds But seeks a sinner's heart. 11 Now hear the cry beneath life's cliff Of victims of the fate Heartless pomp that will not life A finger's tip of weight. 12 A listening God still leads us on And he will keep us till, With Jesus help we'll win the crown And stand on freedom's hill. 13 Then let salvation's anthems ring Spirit of God come in Christ Jesus is our lawful king And brotherhood will win.

Work of Our Founders We Extol

Author: Bettye Lee Roberts Alleyne Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #658 (1999) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Work of our Founders we extol, Our fathers praises sing we now; On this our year of Jubilee All Zion joins in loyal vow. Work of our founders, noble work, We'll labor on and never shirk. 2 Backward we look to see the flame, Our voices blend in sweet refrain; Onward we go with glad acclaim, Proclaiming still our Zion's name. Work of our founders, noble work, We'll labor on and never shirk. 3 Labored they long tho' not in vain, For us they fought and nobly died; Their children yet the work maintain, And fight the foes which they defied. Work of our founders, noble work, We'll labor on and never shirk. 4 For liberty they struck the blow, Like them we toil– half million strong; Building our Zion we onward go, To God and them our praise belong. Work of our founders, noble work, We'll labor on and never shirk. 5 Forward we march with hearts aflame, Loving the heritage they gave; For it we'd die in their famed name Or living, still be strong and brave. Work of our founders, noble work, We'll labor on and never shirk. Topics: Zion Connectional Hymns Languages: English Tune Title: ALL SAINTS

This Stone to Thee In Faith We Lay

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #659 (1999) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 This stone to thee in faith we lay; To thee this temple Lord we build: Thy power and goodness here display. And be it with thy presence filled. 2 Here, when thy people seek thy face, And dying sinners pray to live. Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place. And when thou hearest, Lord forgive? 3 Here, when thy messengers proclaim The blessed gospel of thy son. Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place. Be mighty signs and wonders done. 4 But will indeed Jehovah deign Here to abide no transient guest? here will the world's Redeemer reign? And here the Holy Spirit rest? 5 Thy glory never hence depart: Yet choose not, Lord, this house alone; Thy kingdom come to every heart. In every bosom for thy throne. Amen.
