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 the Lord 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 to worship.
