from trust in bombs that shower
destruction through the night,
from pride of race and nation
and blindness to your way,
deliver every nation,
eternal God, we pray.

from fear of rattling sabre,

with faith that none can alter,
your servants undergird.

of days when war shall cease,
when hatred and division
give way to love and peace,
till dawns the morning glorious
when peace on earth shall reign
and Christ shall rule victorious

Lift Every Voice and Sing
Author: James Weldon Johnson Appears in 48 hymnals Topics: Brotherhood and World Peace 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, let 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 ev'ry voice and sing, till earth and heaven ring]
