Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #24 (2011) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal 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 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 forevermore.
Amen. Topics: Worship and Praise Adoration; Adoration; Peace Scripture: Nehemiah 9:5 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. MICHAEL
