Author: Montgomery Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #340 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 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 Oh, for the living flame
From his own altar brought,
To touch our lips, our souls inspire
And wing to heaven our thought!
4 God is our strength and song,
And his salvation ours;
Then be his love in Christ proclaimed
With all our ransomed powers.
5 Stand up, and bless the Lord;
The Lord your God adore;
Stand up, and bless his glorious name,
Henceforth, for evermore. Topics: General Praise; Hearty Adoration Scripture: Exodus 15:2
Stand up, and bless the Lord, Ye people of his choice
