UFT EVERY VOICE AND SING Life every voice and Sing Fill Earth and Heaven Ring Ring with the harmonies of Liberty. Let our rejoicing nse High as the Ust ' ning skies Let it resound loud as the rolling sea. 5mg a song, full of the Faith Thai the dark past has taught us. 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 Stony the road we ' ve trod Bitter the chast ' ning rod. Felt in the days when Hope unborn had died. Yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet Come to the place for which our Fathers ' sighed. We have come over a way That with tears has been watered. We have come treading a bath Through the paths of the slaughtered. Out of a dreary past Till now we stand at last Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast. God of our weary years God of our silent tears. Thou who hast brought us thus far on our way Thou who hast by thy might led us into the light Keep us forever in thy paths we pray.
