Author: William P. Merrill Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #611 (1995) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Chalice Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Rise up, O saints of God!
Have done with lesser things.
give heart and mind and soul and strength
to serve the King of kings.
2 Rise up, O saints of God!
The kingdom tarries long.
bring in the day of righteousness,
and end the night of wrong.
3 Rise up, O saints of God!
The church for you doth wait,
with strength unequal to the task;
rise up, and make it great.
4 Lift high the cross of Christ;
tread where Christ's feet have trod;
come sisters, brothers in the faith,
rise up, O saints of God. Topics: Life of Discipleship Loyalty and Courage; God's Church Life of Discipleship: Loyalty and Courage; Aspiration; Church; Courage; Men; Women Languages: English Tune Title: FESTAL SONG
