Grade Level 1
Year: 2012
Type: March
Composer: Robert Snelson
Program Notes:
This Grade 1 march is based on verses one and four of the energetic song, “Rise Up, O Church of God” (William Pierson Merrill, 1867-1954). The tune “St. Thomas” is presented twice – first at a singing tempo and then in a grandiose, half-tempo conclusion.
Rise up, O Church of God!
Have done with lesser things;
Give heart and soul
and mind and strength
To serve the King of kings.
Lift high the cross of Christ!
Tread where His feet have trod,
As followers of the Son of Man
Rise up, O Church of God!
