Author and poet James Weldon Johnson wrote the lyrics to Lift Every Voice and Sing in 1900, on the occasion of Abraham Lincoln's birthday. His brother, Rosamond, wrote the music. The song became immensely popular in the black community, and became known as the Negro National Anthem. In this easy piano version, the lyrics to the first verse are included in this arrangement for optional sing-along purposes. (Note that an intermediate level piano version has also been created by the same arranger). To purchase an mp3 demo of this arrangement, please visit www.DavidWinkler.com.
