Hey! Hey! Bless God!
Hey! Hey! Bless God!
O His people — bless God!

There's a terrible beauty rolling off the ridge tonight,
a beautiful terror, a holy light —
it don't come from the valley, it don't come from man,
it pours from the door where the Almighty stands.

Who is like the Strong God? (who is like our God?)
Mighty beyond the telling, older than the dawn —
He speaks and the thunder answers, He moves and the mountains fall —
and here's the wonder, oh here's the wonder...

So bless God, O His people — bless God!
(He gives us fire, He gives us fire!)
Strong God of Israel, terrible and bright — bless God!
(He hands us fire to lift His name!)

Hands like a storm and a heart like a flame,
He hands His own might to the ones who call His name —
so bless God, O His people — bless God!

He don't hand out feathers, He hands out fire and might,
takes the weak and shaking hands and fills 'em up with light.
Not because we earned it, not because we're strong —
He shares the very power that the angels long to sing.

Awe in the holy place — bless God!
Fire in these very hands — bless God!
Weak ones made mighty now — bless God!
He gives it away — (He gives it away!)

Take up the fire, it will not consume —
carry the thunder out of the upper room!

So bless God, O His people — bless God!
(He gives us fire, He gives us fire!)
Strong God of Israel, terrible and bright — bless God!
(He hands us fire to lift His name!)

Hands like a storm and a heart like a flame,
He hands His own might to the ones who call His name —
so bless God, O His people — BLESS GOD!

Hey! Hey! Bless God!
O His people — bless God!
Bless God, O His people. Amen.
