This Is the Day the Lord Hath Made

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 triumphs 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 the 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.
