Performers and audience
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 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.
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 from the places, our God, where we met thee,
lest our hearts, drunk with the wine
of the world, we forget thee;
shadowed beneath the hand,
may we forever stand,
true to our God,
True to our native land.
