Author: William Pierson Merrill, 1867- Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #682 (1999) Meter: 6.6.8.6 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.
AMEN. Topics: Zion Sons of Varick Languages: English Tune Title: FESTAL SONG
Rise Up, O Men of God!
