D          G     B   Em                   G     Cm   E
Lift every voice and sing, till earth and Heav -en ring,

              Am   B   C       G      D
Ring with the har -mo -nies of liber -ty;

            G    Em   E     E7          G       B7    C
Let our re -joi -cing rise, high as the liste -ning skies,

Cm       G                  D      G
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.

G
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,

       Gm                                                 G   G7   D7
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us,

           G   Em   E   E7         G   B7  C
Facing the ri -sing sun of our new day be -gun,

Cm           G             D     G
let us march on till victory is won.

D          G   B   Em               G     Cm   E
Stony the road we trod, bitter the chastening rod,

              Am   B   C       G      D
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;

            G  Em  E     E7          G  B7    C
Yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet

Cm          G                    D      G
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed

G
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered

       Gm                                                 G   G7   D7
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered

             G   Em   E    E7          G    B7   C
Out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last

Cm              G                    D      G
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.

D          G   B Em                 G  Cm   E
God of our weary years, God of our silent tears,

              Am   B     C       G      D
Thou Who hast brought us thus far on the way;

            G    Em   E     E7      G B7    C
Thou Who hast by Thy might, led us into the light,

Cm       G             D        G
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.

G
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee.

       Gm                                                 G   G7   D7
Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee.

           G     Em  E   E7         G B7  C
Shadowed beneath Thy hand, may we forever stand,

Cm       G                  D      G
True to our God, true to our native land.
