Oh men of God arise
Awake from slumber's night
Shake off sin's drowsiness
And rouse yourself to fight
Run from vain this distraction
Keep your vision clear
Cast out all fleshly stowaways
Refuse to harbor fear

Lift up the cup of holiness
Drink long and take your fill
Oh men of God arise
To carry out to carry out God's will

Oh men of God arise
Take up your sword and shield
Your foe has no defense
Against the power they wield
Christ has gained the victory
The outcome is assured
Satan is defeated
By the power of God's word

Lift up the cup of holiness
Drink long and take your fill
Oh men of God arise
To carry out to carry out God's will
Oh men of God arise
And face the eastern skies
For Christ will soon descend
With lightning in his eyes
Then our ancient foe long vanquished
Will meet his rightful end
And sin's dark night of terror
Will never fall again

Lift up the cup of holiness
Drink long and take your fill
Oh men of God arise
To carry out, to carry out God's will

Oh men of God arise
To carry out, to carry out God's will
