LyicsThis is the glorious day
That our redeemer made;
Let us rejoice, and sing, and pray,
Let all the church be glad.
The work, O Lord, is thine,
And wondrous in our eyes;
This day declares it all divine,
This day did Jesus rise.
Hosanna to the King,
Of David's royal blood:
Bless him, you saints, he comes to bring
Salvation from your God.
We bless thy Holy Word,
Which all this grace displays,
And offer on thine altar, Lord,
Our sacrifice of praise.
