Rise, Children of God

Rise

child­ren of God

a voice bids you rise;

The voice of God calls to you from the skies;

Awaken to ef­fort for Christ and His laws

For Christ and His Gos­pel

for Christ and His cause.

The Spir­it di­vine fills Heav­en to­day

Descending to earth

He calls you: Ob­ey.

The na­tions are roll­ing as tide on our shores

The Spir­it says

Win them

they wait at your doors.

O! Spir­it of light

bring light to all hearts

Fill all with the strength Thy pre­sence im­parts.

The voice of our lead­er we all must ob­ey;

Go forth

make dis­ci­ples; there’s ev­er a way.

Lo! God will arise

and scat­ter the foe

The strong­holds of sin

and Sa­tan o’er­throw.

Then for­ward in God’s name for Christ’s ho­ly laws

For Christ and His Gos­pel

for Christ and His cause.
