LIFT EVERY VOICE AND SING VERSE1 EN RING, LIET EVERY VOICE AND SING, TILL EARTH AND HEAV LET OUR REJOICING RING WITH THE HARMONIES OF LIBERTY; LOUD RISE, HIGH AS THE LISTENING SKIES, LET IT RESOUND SING A SONG FULL OF THE FAITH THAT AS THE ROLLING SEA. THE THE DARK PAST HAS TAUGHT US, SING A SONG FULL OF HOPE THAT THE PRESENT HAS BROUGHT US; FACING THE RISING SUN OF OUR NEW DAY BEGUN, LET US MARCH ON TILL | VICTORY IS WON. VERSE 2 FELT STONY THE ROAD WE TROD, BITTER THE CHAST'NING ROD, A STEAD Y IN THE DAVS WHEN HOPE UNBORN HAD-DIED;. YET WITH BEAT, HAVE NOT OUR WEARY FEET, COME TO THE PLACE FORTHAT A WAY WHICH OUR FATHER'S SIGHED? WE HAVE COME OVER. 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. VERSE 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.
