Verse 1
Rise up, O men of God!
Have done with less­er things.
Give heart and mind and soul and strength (Deut. 6:5, Deut. 10:12, Deut. 11:13, Deut. 13:3, Deut. 30:6, Joshua 22:5, Matt. 23:37, Mark 12:30, Luke 10:27)
To serve the King of kings. (I Tim. 6:15, Rev. 17:14, Rev. 19:16)

Verse 2
Rise up, O men of God!
The king­dom tar­ries long. (Hab. 2:3, II Pet. 3:9)
Bring in the day of bro­ther­hood
And end the night of wrong. (I John 2:9-10, Rom. 13:12)

Verse 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!

Verse 4
Lift high the cross of Christ! (Gal. 6:14)
Tread where His feet have trod. (I Pet. 2:21, John 12:26, I John 2:6)
As bro­thers of the Son of Man, (Matt. 12:49-50, Rom. 8:29, Heb. 2:11-12)
Rise up, O men of God!
