Written in classical style this positive statement of faith sounds as if it might have been penned by Handel. It is a challenge to praise and to serve. Incorporating the well-known hymns – “Stand Up and Bless theLord” and “Rise Up O Men of God” – new melodic material provides variety and emphasis. Majestic in feel Arise and Bless the Lord can be used either as a general praise anthem or as a call toworship.
