"Raise Your Voice in Praise"
Written by Port Sulphur Band
Publication December 10, 1894

River rising, summer rain
Fall migration, back again
Berries' blood course through my veins
Raise your glass, your voice in praise

And sing, and sing
And sing
Raise your voice in praise

Carolina choking vine
Spring time's blossom, past its prime
Ash to ash and grape to wine
Raise your glass your voice in time

And sing, and sing
And sing
Raise your voice in praise

Stalks are waving, August heat
Dry and brittle, gone to seed
When I die my cradle be
Just raise your glass sing glory!

And sing, and sing
And sing
Raise your voice in praise
