Author: William P. Merrill Hymnal: The Hymnal for Worship and Celebration #293 (1986) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Rise up, O Church of God! Lyrics: 1 Rise up, O Church 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 Church of God!
His kingdom tarries long;
Bring in the day of brotherhood
And end the night of wrong.
3 Rise up, O sons 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 foll'wers of the Son of Man,
Rise up, O Church of God! Topics: Discipleship; Renewal and Revival; Spiritual Warfare Tune Title: ST. THOMAS
Rise Up, O Church of God
