1
Stand up and bless the Lord
All 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
Oh 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 forevermore
