Lift ev'ry voice and sing Till earth and heaven ring Ring with the harmonies of Liberty. Let our rejoicing rise, High as the list'ning skies, let it resound loud as the rolling sea. Sing a song full of faith that the dark past has taught us. Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us.
