The spiritual Song by the african-american author James Weldon Johnson is also known as the BLACK NATIONAL ANTHEM and was also sung for the inauguration of president Obama.
LIFT EVERY VOICE
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.
God of our weary years, God of our silent
tears,
Thou Who hast brought us thus far on the
way;
Thou Who hast 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.
Black National Anthem; Written by: James Weldon Johnson
Ovaherero, Nama
