LyicsTHIS is the day the Lord hath made,
He call the hours his own;
Let heaven rejoice, let earth be glad,
And praise surround the throne.
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.
Hosanna to th' anointed King,
To David's holy Son;
Help us, O Lord-descend and bring
Salvation from thy throne.
Hosanna in the highest strains
The Church on earth can raise!
The highest heavens, in which he reigns,
Shall give him nobler praise.
