Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Psalms for All Seasons #118E (2012) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 118 Lyrics: 1 This is the day the Lord hath made,
the hours are all God's own;
let heaven rejoice, let earth be glad,
and praise surround the throne.
2 Hosanna to the anointed King,
to David's holy Son!
Help us, O Lord; descend and bring
salvation from the throne.
3 Blest be the Lord, who comes in power
with messages of grace,
who comes in this accepted hour
to save our sinful race.
4 Hosanna in the highest strains
the church on earth can raise!
The highest heavens in which God reigns
shall now resound with praise.
