Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: The Church Hymnary (3rd Ed.) #39 (1973) Meter: 6.6.8.6 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 for evermore.
