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 dayof 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!
