William Merrill
Rise up, O men of God!
Have done with lesser things.
Give heart and mind and soul and strength
To serve the King of kings.
Rise up, O men of God!
The kingdom tarries long.
Bring in the day of brotherhood
And end the night of wrong.
Rise up, O men of God!
The church for you doth wait,
Her strength unequal to her task;
Rise up and make her great!
Lift high the cross of Christ!
Tread where His feet have trod.
As brothers of the Son of Man,
Rise up, O men of God!

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. --Matthew 6:19

Especially love the line "Have done with lesser things."
I think that we cannot fully serve the King of Kings unless we have rejected the lesser things.
