Author: F. A. Rollo Russell Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 61 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Christian, rise and act thy creed;
Let thy prayer be in thy deed;
Seek the right, perform the true,
Raise thy works and life anew.
2. Hearts around thee sink with care;
Thou canst help their load to bear;
Thou canst bring inspiring light,
Arm their faltering wills to fight.
3. Let thine aims be hope and joy,
And thy worship God’s employ;
Give Him thanks in humble zeal,
Learning all His will to feel.
4. Come, then law divine, and reign;
Freest faith assailed in vain,
Perfect love bereft of fear,
Born in heaven and radiant here. Used With Tune: INNOCENTS Text Sources: Break of Day (London: 1893)
Christian, Rise and Act Thy Creed
