NEGRO NATIONAL ANTHEM
(By James Weldon Johnson)
Lift every 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 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 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,
Out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last,
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
God of our weary years, God of silent tears,
Thou hast brought us thus far on the way;
Thou 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 meet 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.
Mr. E. H. Dunn, County School Superintendent,elect, has
kindly consented to address us at this session. Mr. Dunn is
deeply interested in the intellectual development of the boys
and girls of the county. We, therefore, feel highly honored to
have him appear.
Each school will register with five cents per grade.
