The Black National Anthem<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

“Lift Every Voice and Sing” <\/strong><\/p>\n

Lift every voice and sing
Till earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise High as the listening skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.<\/p>\n

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 till victory is won.<\/p>\n

Stony the road we trod,
Bitter the chastening rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet<\/p>\n

Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears have been watered,
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,<\/p>\n

Out from the gloomy past,
Till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.<\/p>\n

God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,<\/p>\n

Thou who has brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who has by Thy might Led us into the light,<\/p>\n

Keep us forever in the path, we pray.<\/p>\n

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;<\/p>\n

Shadowed beneath Thy hand,
May we forever stand.<\/p>\n

True to our GOD,<\/p>\n

True to our native land<\/p>\n
