THE HOLY SABBATH.

By A. T. Robinson

“If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honorable . . . Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.” Isa 58: 13, 14.

LORD, in agreement with thy word, We turn our feet away From doing pleasures of our own On this thy holy day.

We claim the promise thou hast given, In thy most holy word, To those who call it a delight, The holy of the Lord.

Then for our ignorance in the past, In breaking thy commands, Teach us, O Lord, in haste to ask For pardon at thy hands.

And grant, O Lord, that we may have Sufficient grace, to be Enabled all thy law to keep Acceptably to thee.

Then with the psalmist we can say, We love thy law, O Lord; Our meditation all the day, Is on thy holy word. A. T. ROBINSON.
