1 This is the day the Lord has made;
he calls the hours his own;
let heaven 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 the anointed King,
to David's holy son!
Help us, O Lord; descend and bring
salvation from your throne.

4 Blessed be the Lord, the one who came
with messages of grace,
who comes in God his Father's name
to save our sinful race.

5 Hosanna in the highest strains
the church on earth can raise;
the highest heavens in which he reigns
shall give him nobler praise.
