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.
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.
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.
Songwriters: R.m. Carter, J.r. Johnson, J.w. Johnson
I think “Baby Got Back” is a better choice.
As long as it’s a “National Hymn” rather than a new National Anthem I don’t see a problem with this. There are other hymns I like a lot more but I see nothing wrong with this hymn. Besides, the progressives will take issue with it because it mentions God.
I think it should be ‘Row, Row, Row Your Boat”............................

Oh yes, this will make the people that lost their jobs feel so much better./s
It’s good to see where their priorities are./s

Since we’re not the land of the free and the home of the brave anymore I guess anything goes. We’re witnessing the complete and total communist takeover of our country. If there isn’t a revolt against this blatant theft of our liberties THIS year it’s over.
How about a national opera? National guitar riff? National drum solo? Enough with the official national and state [fill in the blank] silliness. Does Ohio really need a state fossil? < /old man shaking his cane mode>
How about “What’s Going On” by Marvin Gaye? We need a little soul to go along with all the chitlins being spread around. Goes good with wallermelon too.
“We Shall Overcome” goes well too. The Black Caucasians should like that one.
They will want to leave out any reference to God, of course...
Oh, it'll start there, with promises that it won't replace the National Anthem, so the normies don't get too agitated.
But, it will start, immediately, being sung in place of the National Anthem at sporting events, next the schools, after that government events.
And then before you know it, it WILL be the official American National Anthem...and you'll never hear The Star Spangled Banner sung anywhere again because to do so will be deemed punishable Hate Speech.
I want the Barney “I Love You” song or the Mister Rogers “It’s A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood” song.
“It’s Howdy Doody Time?”

why should the U.S. have a national hymn? Wouldn’t that violate the First Amendment?
No. We have a National anthem. We don’t need a special “black” national anthem. Frankly, we don’t need a “black” anything. Heaven knows anything designated “white” would never be tolerated by the woke.
Atheists won’t like it.
What a joke!!!!!
Idiots gone wild.
