Stand Up and Bless the Lord

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 398 hymnals Scripture: Nehemiah 9:5 Lyrics: 1 Stand up and bless the Lord, Ye people of God's 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 God's holy name, And laud and magnify? 3 O for the living flame From God's own altar brought, To touch our lips, our minds inspire, And wing to heaven our thought! 4 God is our strength and song, Now is salvation ours; Then be God's 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 God's glorious name; Henceforth forevermore.

Show pity Lord--O Lord, forgive

Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 785 hymnals Scripture: Nehemiah 9:33 Lyrics: 1 Show pity, Lord--O Lord, forgive; Let a repenting rebel live. Are not thy mercies large and free? May not a sinner trust in thee? 2 My crimes are great, but don't surpass The power and glory of thy grace; Great God, thy nature hath no bound-- So let thy pardoning love be found. 3 Oh, wash my soul from every sin, And make my guilty conscience clean; Here on my heart the burden lies, And past offences pain my eyes. 4 My lips with shame my sins confess, Against thy law, against thy grace; Lord, should thy judgments grow severe, I am condemned, but thou art clear. 5 Should sudden vengeance seize my breath, I must pronounce thee just, in death; And if my soul were sent to hell, Thy righteous law approves it well. 6 Yet save a trembling sinner, Lord, Whose hope, still hov'ring round thy word, Would light on some sweet promise there-- Some sure support against despair.
