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

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

We have come over a way that 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
