Author: | Frederick William Foster |
Tune: | WORSHIP |
This day is holy to the Lord;
this day the Lord has made;
we will rejoice with one accord
and in his name be glad.
Come, let us worship and bow down,
with thanks appear before his throne;
he to our songs of praise and prayer
will lend a gracious ear.
