THE FOURTH COMMANDMENT.

The seventh day, God's day of rest, Of all the week I love it best; He made it sacred and divine, On it his glorious truth doth shine.
That perfect charge, the fourth command, With all the rest shall firmly stand; For it is holy, just and good, It doth unite the brotherhood.
It makes us humble, mild and meek, And fits us for the coming week; Through all of which we watch and pray, Then holy keep the Sabbath-day.
Though all the world God's law assail, One jot or tittle shall not fail; Till sin shall cease, with groans and pains, And Christ on earth in glory reigns.
J. Naramore.
