To the Help of the Lord

Arise! To the help of the Lord

arise!

All ye who love Him

the sim­ple and wise;

He bids you to la­bor

to list to His call:

To the help of the Lord

Come now

great and small!

To the help of the Lord arise

arise!

Ye who be­lieve in His ho­ly

ho­ly Word;

Ye who have test­ed His cleans­ing pow­er;

Arise at His call this ve­ry hour.

Go forth! To the help of the Lord

go forth!

Souls are in tra­vail and seek the new birth;

The har­vest is rea­dy

the fields are all white;

Go ye forth! go ye forth

ere com­eth the night!

To the help of the Lord arise

arise!

Leaning for strength

On His own sure Word

sure Word;

Use ev­ery tal­ent and ev­ery pow­er;

Arise and go forth this ve­ry hour.

Arouse! for the sound of the trum­pet’s blast

Soon will give warn­ing

and day will be past;

With truth be ye gird­ed;

Now take sword and shield;

To the work! to the work!

Oh

faint not

nor yield!

To the help of the Lord arise

arise!

Led by His hand

And His own sure Word

sure Word;

Burnish your ar­mor

with­hold no pow­er;

Arise at His call this ve­ry hour.
