Words
⤢ Full screenStand 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 flameFrom his own altar brought,To touch our lips, our souls inspire,And wing to heaven our thought!
God is our strength and song,And his salvation ours;Then be his love in Christ proclaimedWith all our ransomed powers.
