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.
