LyicsTHIS is the day the Lord hath made,
He calls the hours His own;
Let heav'n rejoice, let earth be glad,
And praise aurround 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 heav'ns in which He reigns
Shall give Him nobler praise.
