SONG LYRICS
Lift Every Voice and Sing
Written by James Weldon Johnson and J. Rosamond Johnson
Lift every voice and sing,
’Til 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 ’til victory is won.
Hail! Minnesota
Minnesota, hail to thee!
Hail to thee, our college dear.
Thy light shall ever be
A beacon bright and clear.
Thy sons and daughters true
Will proclaim thee near and far. They will guard thy fame
And adore thy name,
Thou shalt be their Northern Star.
Minnesota Rouser
Minnesota, Hats off to thee!
To thy colors, true we shall ever be,
Firm and strong, united are we.
Rah! Rah! Rah! for Ski-U-Mah,
Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah for the U of M. [Repeat]
M-I-N-N-E-S-O-T-A!
Minnesota! Minnesota! Yeaaaaaaah Gophers!
