Lift Every Voice and Sing! is a gospel swing arrangement of the original words (below) and music of James W. and John R. Johnson that were published at the very beginning of the 20th century. The powerful, spiritual and deeply meaningful text and melody are widely known also as "The Black National Anthem." It describes the struggle of a "dark past" but resounds with hope, faith and perseverance of a people who never wavered even against seemingly insurmountable odds. Finally, Johnson's words remind us to never forget what we have learned from our past, an important lesson in any man's history.
