This is the day the Lord hath made, When He his mighty pow’r displayed; Arising from the grave’s dark shade, This is the Lord’s own day. 2 Come gladly to the House of Pray’r, This is the Lord’s own day; The Friend of sinners meets us there, This is the Lord’s own day. Tread softly, this is holy ground, A gentle radiance shines around; And richest fruits of grace abound, This is the Lord’s own day. 3 Lift up the joyful voice of praise, This is the Lord’s own day; Sweet rest amid life’s busy ways, This is the Lord’s own day. Ring out the notes of jubilee, The Lord Himself hath made us free; Then sing with love’s sweet melody, This is the Lord’s own day.
