- This is the day the Lord hath made;
He calls the hours His own;
Let heaven rejoice, let earth be glad,
And praise surround the throne.
- 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.
- Hosanna to the anointed King,
To David’s holy Son!
Help us, O Lord; descend and bring
Salvation from Thy throne.
- Bless’d 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 heavens, in which He reigns,
Shall give Him nobler praise. Amen.
