Lyrics:
Refrain: This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad.
1. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his mercy endures forever.
Let the house of Israel say, "His mercy endures forever."
2. The hand of the Lord has struck with power, his right hand is exalted.
I shall not die, but live anew, declaring the works of the Lord.
3. The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
The Lord of love and mercy has brought wonder to our eyes.
