Rise Up, O Men of God!

Add to Starred Hymns

Representative Text

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!

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.
