Stand Up and Bless the Lord
Author: James Montgomery (1771-1854) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 395 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 118 Lyrics: 1 Stand up and bless the Lord,
you people of God's choice;
stand up and bless the Lord of hosts
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,
who makes 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 the glorious name
henceforth for evermore. Topics: Adoration; Gathering of the Community; Praise of God Used With Tune: ST. THOMAS

Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain
Author: John of Damascus, ca. 675-749; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 379 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 118 Lyrics: 1 Come, you faithful, raise the strain
of triumphant gladness!
God has brought forth Israel
into joy from sadness,
loosed from Pharaoh’s bitter yoke
Jacob’s sons and daughters;
led them with unmoistened foot
through the Red Sea waters.
2 ’Tis the spring of souls today:
Christ has burst his prison,
and from three days’ sleep in death
as a sun has risen.
All the winter of our sins,
long and dark, is flying
from the Light to whom we give
laud and praise undying.
3 Neither could the gates of death,
nor the tomb’s dark portal,
nor the watchers, nor the seal,
hold you as a mortal:
but today, among your own,
you appear, bestowing
your deep peace, which evermore
passes human knowing.
4 Alleluia! Now we cry
to our Lord immortal,
who, triumphant, burst the bars
of the tomb’s dark portal;
Alleluia! With the Son,
God the Father praising;
Alleluia! Yet a gain
to the Spirit raising.

for evermore draw nigh;
accept each faithful vow,
and mark each suppliant sigh.

each holy day
thy blessings pour.

when all the blest
to endless rest
are called away. Topics: Call and Vocation; Gathering of the Community Used With Tune: HAREWOOD Text Sources: Latin (7th cent.)

enough for evermore.

the goodness must endure. Topics: Hope and Consolation; Redemption and Salvation Used With Tune: UNIVERSITY

GOD Sovereign and Gracious
Appears in 61 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 118 First Line: Ye servants of th' almighty king Lyrics: 1 Ye servants of th' almighty king,
In ev'ry age his praises sing;
Where'er the sun shall rise or set,
The nations shall his praise repeat.
2 Above the earth, beyond the sky,
Stands his high throne of Majesty;
Nor time nor place his pow'r restrain,
Nor bound his universal reign.
3 Which of the sons of Adam dare,
Or angels with their God compare?
His glories how divinely bright,
Who dwells in uncreated light!
4 Behold his love, he stoops to view
What saints above and angels do;
And condescends yet more to know
The mean affairs of men below.
5 From dust and cottages obscure
His grace exalts the humble poor;
Gives them the honour of his sons,
And fits them for their heav'nly thrones.
6 [A word of his creating voice
Can make the barren house rejoice;
Tho' Sarah's ninety years were past,
The promis'd seed is born at last.
7 With joy the mother views her son,
And tells the wonders GOD has done:
Faith may grow strong when sense despairs;
If nature fails, the promise bears.]
