Arise, Young Men, Arise

Verse 1

“Arise, young men, arise!” Thy Saviour’s loving voice Now bids thee lift thine eyes, And in His life rejoice; He raised the sleeping dead, And made it grand to live; For thee His blood was shed, All help His arm will give.

Verse 2

Arise! For death is nigh, Life’s day is all too brief; Like light its moments fly, Its gladness and its grief; Arise, and take thy part In God’s tremendous fight; To arms! Stir up thy heart, Go forth in heaven’s great might!

Verse 3

Arise from dreams of fame, From sensual slumber rise; Keep spotless Christ’s dear name, Thy wealth seek in the skies; The no-blest works await Thine aid with high reward, And, crowned at glory’s gate, Thou’lt meet thy risen Lord.
