478. Stand Up, Friends
1 Praise the God who changes places,
Leaves the lofty seat,
Welcomes us with warm embraces,
Stoops to wash our feet.
Refrain:
Stand up, friends!
Hold your heads high!
Freedom is our song!
Alleluia!
2 Praise the Rabbi, speaking, doing
All that God intends,
Dying, rising, faith renewing,
Calling us his friends. (Refrain)
3 Praise the Breath of Love, whose freedom
Spreads our waking wings,
Lifting ev'ry blight and burden
Till the spirit sings: (Refrain)
4 Praise, until we join the singing
Far beyond our sight,
With the Ending and Beginning
Dancing in the light. (Refrain)
Stand up, friends! ...
