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
