Song * Lift Every Voice And Sing *

                  lift every voice and

                  sing till earth and

                  heaven ring, ring

                  with the harmonies

                  of liberty; let our

                   rise high as the

                  listening skies let

                  let it resound loud

                  as the rolling sea

              

                  sing a song full of

                  faith that the dark

                  past has taught us

                  sing a song full of

                  hope that the present

                     has brought us



                  GOD of our waery years

                  of our silent tears thou

                  who has brought us thus

                  far on the way thou who

                  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 drunk

                  with the wine of the world

                  we forget thee shadowed beneath

                  thy hand may we foever stand

                    true to our god true

                    to  our native land .
