A SABBATH POEM.

By Rev. W. H. Black

ALL thanks and praise unto His holy name, Who was, and is, and still must be, the same: The self-existent, wise, and mighty Lord, By ev'ry human creature be adored!
His works of beauty grow upon our sight, Around on earth by day, in heav'n by night. The world's vast structure shows his might and skill, That contemplative minds with wonder fill.
Our finite thoughts in vain attempt t' explore His boundless presence, or resistless pow'r; Yet would our tongues with gratitude express His love, his goodness, truth, and faithfulness.
Honor, obedience, love, to Thee belongs, To Thee the tribute of ten thousand songs, Accept, Creator, while this day, we raise Our humble monument of Sabbath praise. —Rev. W. H. Black.
