Chorus
This is the day that the Lord hath made.
This is the day to be joyful,joyful, oh yes.
This is the day to give thanks to our God;
stand on your feet,
clap your hands,
and be glad in it.

if the trees can praise the Lord,
if the birds can praise the Lord,
if the stars can praise the Lord,
if the rocks can praise the Lord,
so can you.
