This is a song I found in an old hymnal... It dates back to the late 1800's.
Rise up, O men of God! Have done with lesser things;
Give heart and mind and soul 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!
Talk about a heart cry! O Lord, that the hearts of Christian men would wake up, and rise up to lead the church, and lead there families in truth and righteousness! Lord Jesus, put a fire in our men's hearts that can not be ignored, that cannot be put out. Let them sound the trumpets, and March as men of War. Let them stand on God's Holy Word, and not the status quo. Let them not be afraid to offend men, but afraid to offend God! What this nation needs is Men, real Men, that will not shrink back, but will stand upon the word of God.
