Lift every voice and sing Til earth and heaven ring Ring with the harmony Of liberty Let our rejoicing rise High as the list'ning skies Let us march on Til victory is won 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, til victory is won 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 out weary feet Come to a 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 of the gloomy past Til now we stand at last Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast God of the 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 --- .
