Another addition to the Everything Hymnal
A well known song from the
Lutheran Hymnal as well as a class one (highest level) ensemble piece for high school guys in accordance with the Texas Music Educators Association.
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!
