आज का दिन यहोवा ने बनाया है,
हम उसमें आनंदित हो आनंदित हों
आज का दिन यहोवा ने बनाया है,
हम उसमें आनंदित हो आनंदित हों

Stanza 1: प्रभु को महिमा मिले, चाहे हो मेरा अपमान
वो बढ़े मैं घटूँ, रहे उसी का ध्यान

Stanza 2: स्तुति प्रशंसा करें, क्यों ना कुछ होता रहे
उसको हम भाते रहें, चाहे जहाँ भी रहें

Stanza 3: आता हूँ तेरे पास, मुझको है तुझसे आस
मुझको कबूल कर ले, पापों से शुद्ध कर दे

Chorus: This is the day the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it!

1. May the Lord receive glory, even if I am dishonored; May He increase and I decrease, let my focus remain on Him alone.
2. Let us offer praise and adoration, no matter what happens; May we remain pleasing to Him, wherever we may be.
3. I come to You; my hope is in You; Accept me, Lord, and cleanse me from my sins.¹

Full Meaning

This song is a powerful anthem of Christian Humility and Daily Consecration.

• Daily Sovereignty: It begins by acknowledging that every single day is a deliberate creation of God, demanding a response of joy regardless of circumstances.
• The Principle of Decrease: The bridge “May He increase and I decrease” (Wo badhe main ghatu) is the heart of the song. it reflects a life where personal ego and reputation are sacrificed so that God’s glory can be seen.
• Unconditional Worship: It emphasizes that praise is not dependent on “what happens” but on “who God is.”²

Worship Context

• Call to Worship: Frequently used as the very first song in a service to set a joyful and God-centered tone.
• Personal Devotion: A morning prayer song to dedicate the day’s activities to God.
• Repentance: The final verse makes it suitable for a transition into a time of confession or “Altar Call.”³
