Original text and translations

English text

Rise up, ye saints of God!
Have done with lesser things,
give heart and soul and mind and strength
to serve the King of kings.

Rise up, ye saints of God!
His kingdom tarries long:
Lord, bring the day of truth and love
And end the night of wrong.

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!
