This is the day the Lord hath made

Help us, O Lord! descend and bring Salvation from thy throne. 4 Blest be the Lord, who comes to men 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.

Comfort to such who seek a risen JESUS

Appears in 157 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 28:5-6 First Line: Ye humble Souls that seek the LORD Lyrics: 1 Ye humble Souls that seek the LORD, Chase all your Fears away; And bow with Pleasure down to see The Place where JESUS lay, 2 Thus low the Lord of Life was brought; Such Wonders Love can do; Thus cold in Death, that Bosom lay, Which throbb'd and bled for you. 3 A Moment give a Loose to Grief, Let grateful Sorrows rise; And wash the bloody Stains away, With Torrents from your Eyes 4 Then dry your Tears, and tune your songs, The Saviour lives again; Not all the Gates and Bars of Death The Conq'ror could detain. 5 High o'er th' angelic Bands he rears His once dishonour'd Head; And tho' unnumber'd Years he reigns, Who dwelt among the Dead, 6 With Joy, like his, shall every Saint His empty Tomb survey; Then rise, with his ascending LORD, To Realms of endless Day.
