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. Today He rose and left the dead,
and Satan's empire fell;
Today 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 the throne.

4. Hosanna in the highest strains
the church on earth can raise!
The highest heav'ns in which He reigns,
shall give Him nobler praise.
