Up, arouse ye; work, be ear­nest
In the cause we hold so dear,
Rally round the glo­ri­ous stan­dard,
We will con­quer, ne­ver fear.
For our great com­mand­er, lead­er,
And the cap­tain of our band,
Is the migh­ty King of Hea­ven,
And the rul­er of the land.

Trusting in the Lord to give us
Grace and strength each day we live,
We have pro­mised love and ser­vice
Unto Him we’ll ev­er give.
Are you rea­dy? Are you will­ing?
For what­ev­er work He gives?
Is His hon­or and His glo­ry
The chief thing for which you live?

He per­haps may send us tri­als
That will cost us ma­ny a tear,
But He’s pro­mised to be with us,
Hear His whis­per—I am near.
Let us then go for­ward trust­ing,
Knowing that the Lord knows best;
Just a few more years of ser­vice,
Then He’ll say—Come home and rest.
