THE CHURCH
CONGREGATIONAL HYMNS

(S.M.) R. C. H. 344

by WILLIAM PIERSON MERRILL, 1867-1954

Rise up, O men of God
"Take hold of the eternal life". I Tim. 6:12
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.
Rise up, O men of God!
His kingdom tarries long;
Bring in the day of Brotherhood,
And end the night of wrong.
Rise up, O men of God!
The church for you doth wait,
Her strength unequal to her task;
Rise up and make her great.
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!
