the boys choir of harlem - lift every voice and sing lyrics

lift every voice and sing
lift every voice and sing
till earth and heaven ring
ring with the harmonies of liberty (lift every voice and sing a song)
let our rejoicing rise
high as the list’ning skies
let it resound loud as the rolling sea (lift every voice and sing)
sing a song
full of faith that the dark past has taught us (lift every voice and sing a song)
sing a song
full of the hope that the present has brought us (lift every voice and sing a song)
facing the rising sun
of our new day begun
let us march on
let us march on
till victory is won

stony the road we trod (sing a song)
bitter the chast’ning rod (sing a song)
felt in the day that hope unborn had died (sing a song)
yet with a steady beat (sing a song)
have not our weary feet (sing a song)
come to the place for which our fathers sighed? (sing a song)
we have come
over a way that with tears has been watered
oh, we have come
treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered
out of the gloomy past, till now we stand at last
where the white gleam of our bright star is cast

god of our weary years
god of our silent tears
thou who has brought us thus far on the way
thou who has, 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

- the boys choir of harlem lyrics
