Lift Every Voice and Sing

Author: James Weldon Johnson Meter: Irregular Appears in 49 hymnals Topics: The Glory of the Triune God Praise and Thanksgiving; Sanctifiying and Perfecting Grace Strength in Triublation; Nation; Providence; Social Concerns 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 fathers sighed? We have come over a way that with tears has been watered; we have come, treading our path thru 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. Used With Tune: LIFT EVERY VOICE

How Blest Is He Whose Trespass

Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 31 hymnals Topics: Confession; Forgiveness; God Strength and Refuge; Penitence; Sin; Life in Christ Repentance and Forgiveness Lyrics: 1 How blest is he whose trespass Hath freely been forgiven, Whose sin is wholly covered Before the sight of heaven. To whom the Lord in mercy Imputeth not his sin, Who hath a guileless spirit, Whose heart is true within. 2 While I kept guilty silence My strength was spent with grief, Thy hand was heavy on me, My soul found no relief; But when I owned my trespass, My sin hid not from Thee, When I confessed transgression, Then Thou forgavest me. 3 So let the godly seek Thee In times when Thou art near; No whelming floods shall reach them, Nor cause their hearts to fear. In Thee, O Lord, I hide me, Thou savest me from ill, And songs of Thy salvation My heart with rapture thrill. Amen.
