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 come 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.
