1. Song: This is the day

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

The word "rejoice" appears often in the song "This is the day" from 1967 by Les Garrett. The phrase "This is the day" refers to the "day" and not a "day".

That "day" was originally the Passover before the Exodus but was to be a sign both the Messiah and the King (same person). Jesus entered on that day, "Palm Sunday", with that song which angered the religious establishment. The tune works well as "antiphonal" where the song can move between two parts of the congregation.

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.
