Rejoice (Poem): Gladys Casely Hayford

 Rejoice and shout with laughter

Throw all your burdens down

If God has been so gracious

As to make you black or brown,

For 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.
