This Is the Day the Lord Hath Made

lyricist: Isaac Watts, 1719
Composer: Thomas 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.

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.

Hosanna in the high­est strains

The Church on earth can raise;

The high­est heav’ns

in which He reigns

Shall give Him nob­ler praise.
