Africans Rejoice
Africans Rejoice,
Arise and clap your hands
Echo again the voice of nature
Patter your feet on the soil of your birth
Jig your waist in pride of your endowment
In response to the drum beat of life!
See the victorious sunlight is spread
Over the gloom of your clime
And under the blackness of your skin
Burns the fire that refines the earth
That is why you must be black!
Africans rejoice,
Arise and clap your hands
Echo again the voice of nature
Patter your feet, jig your waist and
Let no man or civility ever put off your fire!
