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
