238. Stand up and bless the Lord

1 Stand up and bless the Lord,
you people of His choice;
stand up and praise 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,
give thanks and glorify?

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 praise His glorious name
both now and evermore.
