Our Great Redeemer's Praise ‎#39

39. 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.
