Singer Andra Day will sing " Lift Every Voice and Sing" at the 2024 Super Bowl .
The song was written by James Weldon Johnson , who considered it a hymn.
It was first performed by a choir of 500 schoolchildren in Jacksonville , Florida , in 1900 .
In 2020 , the song was played before all 16 of the Super Bowls .
God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who has brought us thus far on the way; Thou who has by Thy might Led us into the light, Keep us forever in the path, we pray. Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee , our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee; Shadowed beneath Thy hand, May we forever stand, True to our God, True to our native land..
