243. Hosanna; the Lord's day; or, Christ's resurrection, and our salvation

1 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.

2 To-day he rose and left the dead;
And Satan's empire fell –
To-day the saints his triumphs 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.

5 Hosanna, in the highest strains,
The church on earth can raise;
The highest heav'ns, in which he reigns,
Shall give him nobler praise.
