THE SEVENTH DAY

By Julia E. Lloyd

"Is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God." Deut. 5:14.
Mid the tumult and noise around me I can feel a rest and a calm; For while men are toiling and delving, All nature is singing a psalm.
And the voice of nature seems clearer Than the din and mirth to my ears; And my heart gives thanks for the Sabbath, And the God of the Sabbath reveres.
For worship is due the Creator, And sweet to the toiler is rest; And the day set apart by Jehovah, Is surely the day that is best.
O heavens of infinite grandeur ! So beauteous by day and by night! Ye speak of the Being who formed you By excellent wisdom and might!
And rivers so ceaselessly flowing, Ye speak of the peace that may be In obedient hearts of adorers, With joy like the waves of the sea.
Think, ye who would follow the Master With loving devotion and awe, If he did in precept or action Make void any part of the law.
