Rejoice
Rejoice and shout with laughter
Throw all your burdens down,
If God has been so gracious
As to make you black or brown
Do you are a great nation,
A people of great birth
For where would spring the flowers
If God took away the earth?
Rejoice and shout with laughter
Throw all your burdens down
Yours is a glorious heritage
If you are black, or brown.
— Gladys Casely-Hayford
