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

There, with benign regard,

Our hymns He deigns to hear;

Though unrevealed to mortal sense,

Our spirits feel Him near.

 

VERSE 5

God is our Strength and Song,

And His salvation ours;

Then be His love in Christ proclaimed

With all our ransomed powers.

 

VERSE 6

Stand up and bless the Lord;

The Lord your God adore;

Stand up and bless His glorious Name;

Henceforth forevermore.
