LyicsStand up and bless the Lord,
Ye people of his choice;
Stand up and bless the Lord your God
With heart and soul and voice.
Though high above all praise,
Above all blessing high,
Who would not fear his holy name,
And laud and magnify?
O for the living flame,
From his own altar brought,
To touch our lips, our hearts inspire,
And wing to heaven our thought!
There, with benign regard,
Our hymns he deigns to hear;
Though unreveal'd to mortal sense,
The spirit feels him near.
God is our strength and song,
And his salvation ours;
Then be his love in Christ proclaim'd
With all our ransom'd powers.
