This is the day the Lord hath made

O help us, 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.
