This review is from: Lift Every Voice and Sing (Hardcover)
The book was just what we needed as our choir director is working with the children of the church. She was so thrilled when I gave it to her as she said she would be able to present the music in a way that they will be able to learn.

This review is from: Lift Every Voice and Sing (Hardcover)
all the yrs gone by, I didn't know this song--anthem-- had God @ its core. "...Let our rejoicing rise / High as the listening skies..."
"...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."
