who do not serve another’s will;

not tied unto the world with care
of public fame of private ear;

whose conscience is their strong retreat,
whose state no flattery can feed,
nor ruin make oppressors great.

of hope to rise, or fear to fall;
they rule themselves, but rule not lands,
and, having nothing, yet have all. Languages: English Tune Title: WAREHAM

one increasing purpose runs,
and the thoughts of all are widened
with the process of the suns.

see the vision of the world,
and all the wonder that shall be,

Lift Every Voice and Sing
Author: James Weldon Johnson, 1871-1938 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #149 (1993) Meter: Irregular Topics: Words and Deeds of Prophetic Women and Men Freedom Lyrics: 1 Lift every 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.
2 Stony the road we trod,
bitter the chastening 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.
3 God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
thou who hast brought us thus far on the way;
thou who hast 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. Languages: English Tune Title: LIFT EVERY VOICE

Author: John Holmes, 1904-1962 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #164 (1993) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Words and Deeds of Prophetic Women and Men Peace Lyrics: 1 The peace not past our understanding
falls like light upon the soft white tablecloth
at winter supper warm between four walls,
a thing too simple to be tried as truth.
2 Not scholar’s calm, nor gift of church or state,
nor everlasting date of death’s release;
but careless noon, the houses lighted late,
harvest and holiday: the people’s peace.
3 Days into years, the doorways worn at sill,
years into lives, the plans for long increase
come true at last for those of God’s good will:
these are the things we mean by saying, Peace. Languages: English Tune Title: SURSUM CORDA
