   1. This is the day the Lord hath made;
         He calls the hours His own;
      Let heaven 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 triumph spread,
         And all His wonders tell.

   3. Hosanna to th'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.
