Text:Rise Up, O Men of God!
Author:William P. Merrill
Tune:FESTAL SONG
Composer:William H. Walter, d. 1893

252. 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!

Amen.
