This Is the Day the Lord Hath Made
Isaac Watts, 1719
Thomas A. Arne, 1762

This is the day the Lord hath made; He calls the hours His own.
Let heav'n rejoice; let earth be glad and praise surround the throne.

Today He rose and left the dead, and Satan's empire fell;
Today the saints His triumphs spread and all His wonders tell.

Hosanna to th'anointed King, To David's holy Son!
Help us, O Lord; descend, and bring salvation from the throne.

Hosanna in the highest strains the Church on earth can raise!
The highest heav'ns in which He reigns shall give Him nobler praise.
