Lyrics Lift Every Voice and Sing - Ray Charles

I got something in my 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
And 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) my Lord, my bad
(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

Facing the rising sun of our new day begun
And let us march on till victory is won
Amen, amen
