This is the day that lord has made, let us rejoice in it and be glad.

"This is the day that the Lord has made" is the quintessential song of Easter morning. Shedrack Kelvin’s handwritten solfa arrangement captures the triumphant joy of the Resurrection, setting Psalm 118 to a bright and steady rhythm that invites the whole congregation to join in the celebration. It is a staple for the Responsorial Psalm on Easter Sunday, ringing out from the choir loft as a definitive declaration of victory.

The verses walk us through the core of the Easter message. From the call for the house of Israel to proclaim God's enduring mercy, to the powerful realization that "the stone that the builders rejected has become the corner stone," the text is full of awe. When the choir sings "I shall not die, I shall live and recount the deeds of the Lord," it brings a deeply personal resonance to the liturgy, reminding everyone in the pews of the new life promised by the empty tomb.
