Author: William Pierson Merrill, 1867 - 1954 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #541 (1958) Lyrics: 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! Topics: The Church Year Advent; The Church Year Holy Week; The Church Year Good Friday; The Church The People of God; Ordination; The Ministry; The Life In Christ Conflict and Victory; The Life In Christ Service Languages: English Tune Title: FESTAL SONG
