Lyics

THIS 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.
