Lyics

THIS is the day the Lord has made,

He calls the hours his own:

Let heaven rejoice and 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.



Blest be the Lord who comes to men

With messages of grace;

Who comes in God the father's name

To save our sinful race.



Hosanna in the highest strains

The church on earth can raise:

Hosanna! let the highest heavens

Award him nobler praise.
