This is the day the Lord has made;
He calls the hours His own;
let heav’n rejoice, let earth be glad,
and praise surround the throne

Psalm 118 Poetry Part IV

This is the day the Lord has made;
He calls the hours His own;
let heav’n rejoice, let earth be glad,
and praise surround the throne
The foolish builders, scribe and priest,
Reject it with disdain;
Yet on this Rock the Church shall rest, And envy rage in vain
Lord, thou hast heard thy servant cry
And rescued from the grave;
Now shall he live; and none can die,
If God resolve to save.
The Lord appears my helper now,
Nor is my faith afraid
What all the sons of earth can do,
Since heav’n affords its aid
