Author: J. Montgomery (1771-1854) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #351 (1987) Topics: Pentecost 17 The Proof of Faith Lyrics: 1 Stand up and bless the Lord,
you 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,
give thanks and glorify?
3 O for the living flame
from his own altar brought,
to touch our lips, our minds 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 praise his glorious name
both now and evermore.
