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
