1 Rise up, ye saints of God! Have done with lesser things, give heart and soul and mind and strength to serve the King of kings.
2 Rise up, ye saints of God! His kingdom tarries long: Lord, bring the day of truth and love and end the night of wrong.
3 Lift high the cross of Christ! Tread where his feet have trod; and quickened by the Spirit's power, rise up, ye saints of God!
