Revised: Silent Night, the New Negro National Anthem, no more Lift Every Voice and Sing


Silent Night

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace (2x)
Silent night, holy night!....
dreams of freedom in another life,
Deaf dumb blind this life
Like Hiram Biff in shallow grave
Looking for Jesus to save
rise up Lazarus
Jesus said
don't worry Mary
Martha don't moan
I got Lazarus in my arms
Silent night holy night
All is calm all is bright
Passive mild like virgin child
Homeless nameless
Lost and turned out
On way to grandmother’s house
Silent night holy night
All is calm all is bright
Get off yo knees crying blues
Wake up everybody to good news
You walk with Jesus
You walk in his shoes…
Silent night holy night
all is calm all is bright....
