Lift Every Voice and Sing

Author: James Weldon Johnson, 1871-1938 Hymnal: Songs of Zion #210 (1981) Topics: Songs for Special Occasions First Line: Lift ev'ry voice and sing Lyrics: 1 Lift ev'ry voice and sing, 'Til 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, til victory is won. 2 Stony the road we trod, Bitter the chast'ning rod, Felt in the days when hope unborn 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, 'Til 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. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: [Lift ev'ry voice and sing]

Refrain: I do not know how long 'twill be, Nor what the future holds for me, But this I know, if Jesus leads me, I shall get home some day. 2 Often times my sky is clear, Joy abounds without a tear; Though a day so bright begun, Clouds may hide tomorrow's sun. There'll be a day that's always bright, A day that never yields to night, And in its light the streets of glory I shall behold some day. [Refrain] 3 Burdens now may crush me down, Disappointments all around, Troubles speak in mournful sigh, Sorrow through a tearful eye; There is a world where pleasure reigns, No mourning soul shall roam its plains, And to that land of peace and glory I want to go some day.
