191. Bless the Lord

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.

Chorus:
Stand up and bless the Lord,
The Lord your God adore,
Stand up and bless His glorious name,
Henceforth, forevermore.

2 O for a living flame
From His own altar brought,
To touch our lips, our souls inspire,
And wing to heav’n our thought. [Chorus]

3 God is our strength and song,
And His salvation ours;
Then be His love in Christ proclaimed
With all our ransomed powers. [Chorus]
