Who Wrote “This Is the Day That the Lord Has Made”?
Born in 1674, Isaac Watts was the son of a British schoolmaster, and when he was but twenty years old, he wrote his first hymn,A modern praise tune titled “This is the Day” has Psalm 118:24 as its theme verse, and it is one of the most popular, for a lot of us tune to hum (or sing) when we think of the song. But a lesser-known yet biblically sound hymn was written by Isaac Watts, a prolific seventeenth and eighteenth-century hymnist.
HymnTimes notes that Isaac Watts wrote the lyrics in 1719 and included the hymn in his collection The Psalms of David, with an alternate title “Christ’s Resurrection, and Our Salvation.
The music was composed by Thomas A. Arne in 1762 and arranged by Ralph Harrison in 1784.
