Text:This is the day the Lord hath made

330. This is the day the Lord hath made

1 This is the day the Lord hath made;
He calls the hours his own.
Let heav'n rejoice, let earth be glad,
And praise surround the throne.

2 To-day arose our glorious Head,
And death's dread empire fell,
To-day the saints his triumph spread,
And all its wonders tell.

3 Hosanna! the anointed King
Ascends his destin'd throne.
To God your grateful homage bring,
And his Messiah own.

4 Blest be the Lord, who came to men
With messages of grace;
Who came in God his Father's name,
To save our sinful race.

5 Hosanna in the highest strains
The church on earth can raise!
The highest heav'ns in which he reigns
Shall give him nobler praise.
