  Fellowmen of Negro blood,

  With undaunted faith in God,

  Come along, and take your places

  With the men of other races.

  Though we long have trampled been,

  We a ray of hope have seen.

  Women, men, and children small,

  List to Marcus Garvey’s call.

   

  Men of Ethiopia’s race,

  You are Negroes, ‘tis no disgrace.

  Let us then united be

  In our fight for liberty.

   

  U.N.I.A. and A.C.L.

  Wheresoever man may dwell,

  Your flag of red, and black, and green

  High above all shall be seen.

   

  Africa shall win the day

  Though men and devils be in the way,

  We are in the fight ‘gainst might.

  God is with us; all is right.

      H. Percival Welsh

      President U.N.I.A.

      43 Barnett Street, Montego Bay

• 1 2018-10-25T06:52:02-07:00 Lord, Lift Our Race., by Prof. O.M. Skinner 4 plain 2019-05-31T18:29:34-07:00  

  Lord, lift our race and set our feet

  Upon the solid rock,

  And life and happiness complete,

  Give to thy Negro flock.

   

  This race so tried and trodden

  Has called aloud to Thee.

  And have we been forgotten?

  O Lord, how can it be?

   

  We know Thou art our father,

  And hence we need Thy care

  And as we draw together

  We ask Thee to draw (You) near.

   

  Our fathers’ blood is crying:

  Who can’st revenge but Thou?

  And still Thy people is dying,

  Lord, rise up and save us now.

   

  For we need thy protections

  In this, our present, fight.

  Against the world’s subjections

  O, give us Negroes might.

   

  Then when shall come the victory

  O’er earth, and hellish wrongs,

  Will cease this earthly worry,

  We, too, shall join the throngs.
