Stand Up and Bless the Lord

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 400 hymnals 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 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.

Long my heart hath panted, 'Til it well-nigh fainted, Thirsting after Thee. Thine I am, O spotless Lamb, I will suffer naught to hide Thee, Ask for naught beside Thee. 2 In Thy strength I rest me; Foes who would molest me Cannot reach me here. Tho' the earth be shaking, Every heart be quaking, God dispels our fear. Sin and hell in conflict fell With their heaviest storms assail us; Jesus will not fail us. 3 Banished is our sadness! For the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in. Those who love the Father, Tho' the storms may gather, Still have peace within. Yea, whate'er we here must bear, Still is Thee lies purest pleasure - Jesus, priceless treasure! Topics: Walking with God Comfort and Encouragement Used With Tune: JESU, MEINE FREUDE

O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? 2 O thus be it ever, when free men shall stand Between their loved homes and the war's desolation; Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n rescued land praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserved us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just; And this be our motto: "In God is our trust!" And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
