49. This is the Day

1 THIS is the day the Lord hath made,
He calls the hours His own;
Let heav’n rejoice, let earth be glad,
And praise surround the throne.

2 To-day He rose and left the dead,
And Satan’s empire fell;
To-day the saints His triumph spread,
And all His wonders tell.

3 Hosanna to the anointed King,
To David’s holy Son!
Help us, O Lord! descend and bring
Salvation from Thy throne.

4 Blest be the Lord, who comes to men
With 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 heavens in which He reigns
Shall give Him nobler praise.
