It’s the Fifth Sunday after Pentecost, the Sunday in Independence Day Weekend. While Independence Day does not fall within the Church Year calendar as a festival to be observed, We remember the day in the singing of the Hymn Lift Every Voice and Sing: "Lift Every Voice and Sing" (1900) was written by James Weldon Johnson for a presentation in celebration of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln. The music was composed by his brother and songwriting partner, J. Rosamond Johnson. The song was originally performed in Jacksonville, Florida, by children. The popular title for this work is THE NEGRO NATIONAL ANTHEM.
