Stand Up and Bless the Lord

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.  

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

3 O for the living flame,  
From His own altar brought,  
To touch our lips, our minds inspire,  
And wing to heav'n our thought.  

4 God is our strength and song,  
And His salvation ours;  
Then be His love in Christ proclaimed  
With all our ransomed pow'rs.  

5 Stand up and bless the Lord,  
The Lord your God adore;  
Stand up and bless His glorious name  
Henceforth forevermore.
