391. ‘This is the day, the blessed day.’

edit

1. T h is is the day, the blessed  day
When Jesus left the grave:
Of Him we sing, and well we may, 
For us He came to save.

2. ’Tis sweet to know that by His death
We live—this grace is sweet:
The Saviour, with His dying breath, 
Proclaim’d His work complete.

3. He lives, He reigns the God of love,
He reigns for evermore:
His pow’r, all other pow’rs above,
His name, all names before.

4. To Him Who died and rose again,
The Lord of earth and heav’n ;
To Him by angels and by men,
Be endless glory giv’n.

5. The glory due to Him alone,
Who reigns in heaven above:
Who fills the everlasting throne,
The God of grace and love.
