This Is the Day the Lord Hath Made
"This is the day which the LORD hath made;" - Ps 118:24
VERSE 1
This is the day the Lord hath made
He calls the hours His own;
Let heaven rejoice, let earth be glad;
And praise surround the throne.
VERSE 2
To-day He rose and left the dead,
And Satan's empire fell;
To-day the saints His triumph spread,
And all His wonders tell.
VERSE 3
Hosanna to the anointed King,
To David's Holy Son!
Help us O Lord! descend and bring
Salvation from Thy throne.
VERSE 4
Blest be the Lord, who comes to men
With messages of grace;
Who comes in God His Father's name,
To save our sinful race.
VERSE 5
Hosanna, in the highest strains
The church on earth can raise;
The highest heavens in which He reigns
Shall give Him nobler praise.
