[Verse]
D7           G    B7  Em
Lift ev'ry voice and sing
               G  D   Em
'Til earth and heaven ring
              Am B7 C      G    D7
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty
           G  B7  E7
Let our rejoicing rise
             Am  B7   C
High as the list'ning skies
          G                D7       G
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea
 
 
[Bridge]
G      Em                                            G
Sing a song full of the faith-that-the-dark past has-taught us
G      Eb                                         G       D7
Sing a song full of-the-hope-that-the-present-ha-brought us
 
 
           G  B7  E7             Am  B7 C
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun
             G            D7    G
Let us march on 'til victory is won
 
 
[Verse]
D7          G  B7  Em
Stony the road we trod
            G    D     Em
Bitter the chastening rod,
             Am   B7   C      G        D7
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
             G B7  E7
Yet with a steady beat
             Am B7  C
Have not our weary feet
              G                  D7       G
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed
 
 
G       Em                                       G
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered
G       Eb                                                G     D7
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered
 
 
             G   B7  E7                 Am  B7  C
Out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last
                  G                  D7      G
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
 
 
[Verse]
D7         G  B7  Em
God of our weary years
           G  D    Em
God of our silent tears,
               Am     B7       C  G       D7
Thou Who hast brought us thus far on the way;
              Am B7   E7
Thou Who hast by Thy might
         Am  B7   C
led us into the light,
           C            D7       G
Keep us for-ever in the path, we pray.
 
 
G         Em                                           G
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee.
G         Eb                                              G   D7
Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee.
 
 
            G    B7   E7             Am B7  C
Shadowed beneath Thy hand, may we forever stand,
             G               D7      G
True to our God, true to our native land.
