499. Rise Up, O Men of God

1 Rise up, O men 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 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!
