Hymn Book ‎#5

5. This is the day the Lord hath made

1 This is the day the Lord has made;
He calls the hours His own.
Let heaven rejoice, let earth be glad
And praise surround the throne.

2 To-day He rose and left the dead,
And Satans empire fell;
To-day the saints His triumphs spread,
And all His wonders tell.

3 Hosanna to the 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.

5 Hosanna in the highest strains
The Church on earth can raise;
The highest heavens, in which He reigns
Shall give Him nobler praise.
