The Glad Refrain for the Sunday School ‎#56

56. Young Man, Arise

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

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

3 Arise from dreams of fame,
From sensual slumber rise;
Keep spotless Christ’s dear name,
Thy wealth seek in the skies;
The noblest works await
Thine aid with high reward,
And, crowned at glory’s gate,
Thou’lt meet thy risen Lord.
