In it will we rejoice,
praising God's everlasting love
with heart and mind and voice.
2 God is my refuge and my strength,
my might, my joy, my song,
my shield, salvation, sure defense
throughout my whole life long.
3 Open the gates of righteousness,
Lord, let me enter there,
that I may lift my thanks to you
in hymn and song and prayer.
4 See now the wonder God has done:
the once rejected stone
has now become the cornerstone,
the Lord's own Chosen One.
5 Blest is the One who comes to us
in God our maker's name,
bringing to us God's life and light,
to every age the same.
6 This is the day the Lord has made;
in it will we rejoice,
praising God's everlasting love
with heart and mind and voice. Scripture: Psalm 118 Used With Tune: THIS IS THE DAY
This Is the Day the Lord Has Made
