Please no walking or talking, once Worship Service begins. Lift Every Voice and Sing Verse 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 Verse 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 father's 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 a gloomy past, till now we stand at last Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast Enjoy a delicious, home-cooked meal and live music in the beautiful Crystal Room today!
