"We've Come This Far by Faith"

We’ve come this far by faith
Leaning on The LORD
Trusting in His Holy Word
He’s never failed me yet.

"Lift Every Voice and Sing"
Verse 1
Lift ev’ry 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
Let us march on
Till victory is won!
Verse 2
Stony the road we 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 our path through the blood
Of the slaughtered!
Out from the gloomy past
Till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam
Of our bright star is cast!
Verse 3
GOD of our weary years
GOD of our silent tears
Thou Who has brought us
Thus far on the way
Thou who has 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.
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!
