A paraphrase of Psalm 118:24 by Isaac Watts, published in 1709, celebrating the Lord's day as a gift from God and calling all creation to rejoice and praise. It is one of Watts's many metrical psalm paraphrases that shaped English hymnody.

This is the day
the Lord hath made;
he calls the hours his own.

Let heaven rejoice,
let earth be glad,
and praise surround
the throne.
