BEBE WINANS
"Lift Every Voice And Sing"
(James Weldon Johnson)

Lift every voice and sing 'till the heaven ring
Ring with the harmonies of liberty
Let our voices rise high as the listening skies
Let it resign loud as the rolling sea

Sing a song full of the faith
That the dark past has thought 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 watch on 'til victory is won
Now God of our winnings
And God of our silent tears

Thou who has brought us this fire
Thou who has by thy mind
Let us into the guide
Keep us forever in the palm, we pray

Sing a song full of the faith
That the dark past has thought 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 watch on 'til victory is won
