Author: I. Watts (1674-1748) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #379 (1987) Lyrics: 1 This is the day the Lord has made,
he calls the hours his own;
let heavens rejoice, let earth be glad,
and praise surround the 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 the anointed king,
to David's holy Son!
help us, O Lord; descend and bring
salvation from your throne.
4 Blessed be the Lord, who freely came
to save our sinful race;
he comes, in God his Father's name,
with words of truth and grace.
5 Hosanna in the highest strains
the church on earth can raise!
the highest heavens in which he reigns
shall give him nobler praise. Topics: God's Church The Lord's Day; Palm Sunday The Way of the Cross; Easter The Resurrection of Christ; Easter 1 The Upper Room Scripture: Psalm 118:24 Languages: English Tune Title: BISHOPTHORPE
