1. This is the day, this is the day
that the Lord has made, that the Lord has made;
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.

2. This is the day, this is the day
when he rose again, when he rose again;
we will rejoice, we will rejoice
and be glad in it, and be glad in it.
This is the day when he rose again;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
This is the day, this is the day when he rose again.

3. This is the day, this is the day
when the Spirit came, when the Spirit came;
we will rejoice, we will rejoice
and be glad in it, and be glad in it.
This is the day when the Spirit came;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
This is the day, this is the day when the Spirit came.

When researching hymns it is amazing how many different stanzas that there are. “This is the Day” is one of those hymns. These verses are especially meaningful as they honor the JESUS resurrection as well as the Holy Spirit even though He is nor mentioned by name. Sometime we are familiar with only one verse of a song and do not even realize there are more that are just as uplifting.

Psalms 118:24
This is the day which the Lord hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
