This Is the Day

This Is the Day
by Les Garrett, 1967


This is the day, this is the day that the Lord has made, that the Lord has made.
We willl rejoice, we will rejoice, we will rejoice and be glad in it, and be glad in it.
This is the day that the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.
This is the day, this is the day that the Lord has made.

I like this hymn partially because of its simplicity. It comes straight from Psalm 118:24 which states that 'this is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.'
No matter what day it is when you read this Psalm or sing this hymn, it is a day that the Lord made. Because He made this day and has allowed us to live in it we ought to rejoice in God and through our day and be glad throughout the day.

God created today, so rejoice!
