Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #677 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Matthew 21:9 Lyrics: 1 This is the day the Lord has made,
he calls the hours his own;
let heav'n rejoice, let earth be glad,
let praise surround his throne.
2 Today he rose and left the dead,
and Satan's empire fell;
today the saints his triumphs spread,
and all his wonders tell.
3 Hosanna to th'anointed King,
to David's holy Son!
Make haste to help us, Lord, and bring
salvation from thy throne.
4 Blest be the Lord: let us proclaim
his messages of grace;
who comes, in God his Father's name,
to save our sinful race.
5 Hosanna in the highest strains
the Church on earth can raise;
the highest heav'ns in which he reigns
shall give him nobler praise.
