"I Will Lift My Eyes" by Tony Alonso was shared at the Calvin Institute Symposium on Worship at their Wednesday Vespers service.
"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 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."
- James Weldon Johnson & J. Rosamond Johnson, arr. Roland Carter © 2020 by Walton Music
