Stand Up, and Bless the Lord

Verse 1

Stand up, and bless the Lord,
Ye people of His choice;
Stand up, and bless the Lord your God,
With heart and soul and voice.

Verse 2

Though high above all praise,
Above all blessing high,
Who would not fear His holy Name,
And laud, and magnify?

Verse 3

O for the living flame,
From His own altar brought,
To touch our lips, our minds inspire,
And wing to heaven our thought!

Verse 4

God is our Strength and Song,
And His salvation ours;
Then be His love in Christ proclaimed
With all our ransomed powers.

Verse 5

Stand up, and bless the Lord;
The Lord your God adore:
Stand up, and bless His glorious Name,
Henceforth for evermore.
