Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: Common Praise #577 (2000) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Scripture: Isaiah 12:2 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 mind 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. Languages: English Tune Title: CARLISLE
Stand up, and bless the Lord
