Jehovah's Rest

Holy day, Jehovah's Rest,Of Creation's week the best;Last of all the chosen sev'n,Blessed of God, to man 'twas giv'n.

First his six days' work was done,Then the Sabbath hour begun;Thus he blessed the seventh day,Thus in resting we obey.

Thousands have his plan reversed,Resting now upon the first;Search the Book and you shall knowThere's no scripture tells them so.

All who speak the truth must sayIt was man who changed the day:In God's word no change appearsThrough the whole six thousand years!

Thus I searched; and when I sawOnly one great Sabbath law,Then I hastened to obey,—Plainly, 'twas the only way.
