Original text and translations

English text

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.
