Who is Coco Jones? Meet the Super Bowl 60 'Lift Every Voice and Sing' performer

The Super Bowl is a huge event for more than just the football teams, as select artists get the opportunity to perform in front of the entire country.

Before the game itself, several artists are tasked with helping with the pregame festivities by performing songs such as the national anthem, “America the Beautiful” and “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” which is also known as “The Black National Anthem.”

In 2021, the NFL added “Lift Every Voice and Sing” to the Super Bowl pregame festivities, tabbing different singers to perform the song ahead of the game. This year, Coco Jones will get the chance to perform “Lift Every Voice and Sing” before Super Bowl 60 in Santa Clara.

'Lift Every Voice and Sing' lyrics

Lift every voice and sing,
Till earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the list’ning skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on till victory is won.

Stony the road we trod,
Bitter the chast’ning rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered.
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
Out from the gloomy past,
Till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.

God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who hast 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,
Lest 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.
