"Arise, therefore, and be doing, and the Lord be with thee.... Now set your heart and your soul to seek the Lord your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the Lord God" (1 Chronicles 22:16,19).
Now set your heart and soul today
To seek the Lord above.
Arise, therefore, and come away
To serve your Lord with love.
Arouse your spirit from its sleep;
Arise, therefore! Awake!
God will strengthen those who keep
A vigil for His sake.
We wake, we watch, we work as well,
As laborers with Christ.
We've pressed against the gates of hell,
Where grace has thus sufficed.
Until we hear Your upward shout
To call us home forever,
Stir our hearts, Lord, purge our doubt,
And strengthen our endeavor.
