This Day
(Adaptation of Nehemiah 8:9-10)

This day is holy unto the Lord 
Mourn not, nor weep or give into grief 
For all the people wept when they heard
The words of the Law, for the joy
Of the Lord is your strength 
Yes, the joy of the Lord is your strength
So, seek Him today my friend 
Yes, seek him today my friend 
Go your way and eat the fat 
Drink the sweet waters by 
And send a portion unto the poor 
Who have nothing, for the joy
Of the Lord is your strength 
Yes, the joy of the Lord is your strength
So, seek Him today my friend 
Yes, seek him today my friend
