[O God, at Thy command we rise]

Stand up and bless the Lord your God for ever and ever. —ix. 5.

O God, at Thy command we rise,
Thy glorious name to bless,
Thee the great Lord of earth and skies
We joyfully confess;
Our joy is now to sing of Thee,
To triumph in Thy love,
And this (transporting thought!) shall be
Our endless work above.
