Have done with lesser things;
Give heart and mind and soul and strength
To serve the King of kings.
2 Rise up, O men of God!
His kingdom tarries long;
Bring in the day of brotherhood
And end the night of wrong.
3 Rise up, O men of God!
The Church for you doth wait,
Her strength unequal to her task;
Rise up, and make her great!
4 Lift high the cross of Christ!
Tread where His feet have trod;
As brothers of the Son of man,
Rise up, O men of God! Topics: Kingdom of God on Earth Brotherhood; Opening; Processionals; Recessionals; Service Scripture: Deuteronomy 11:13 Languages: English Tune Title: FESTAL SONG
