The New Church Hymnal ‎#219a

219a. Rise Up, O Men of God!

1 Rise up, O men of God!
Have done with lesser things;
Give heart and soul and mind 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!
