  • Democrats propose that the Black National Anthem be adopted as National Hymm

    https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/202...ntry-together/

    House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC) said he will propose to make the “Black National Anthem” the official US hymn in an effort to “bring the country together.”
    I hope they do. I look at the words an have no problem with it. I think there would be extreme push back from the left though.

    Lift Evry Voice and Sing is known as the Black National Anthem. Written by James Wheldon Johnson in 1900, it became popular during the Civil Rights Movement.



    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 faith that the dark past has tought 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 day that hope unborn had died;
    Yet with a steady beat,
    Have not our weary feet,
    Come to the place on witch 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 star is cast.

    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 frm the places, our God, where we met thee,
    Least our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget thee,
    Shadowed beneath the hand,
    May we forever stand,
    Tru to our God,
    Tru to our native land.
