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!

Refrain

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.
