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 praise 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.
Used With Tune: CARLISLE
