Song: This is the day
1. Song: This is the day
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".
Psalms 118:22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. [kjv]
λιθον ον απεδοκιμασαν οι οικοδομουντες ουτος εγενηθη εις κεφαλην γωνιας [lxx]
118:23 This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. [kjv]
παρα κυριου εγενετο αυτη και εστιν θαυμαστη εν οφθαλμοις ημων [lxx]
118:24 This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. [kjv]
αυτη η ημερα ην εποιησεν ο κυριος αγαλλιασωμεθα και ευφρανθωμεν εν αυτη [lxx]
That "
day" was originally the Passover before the Exodus but was to be a sign of the Messiah. Jesus entered on that day, "
Palm Sunday", with that song which angered the religious establishment.
2. Antiphonal
The tune works well as "antiphonal" where the song can move between two parts of the congregation.
