“Hallow the Sabbath Day”

 
“Hallow the Sabbath Day”
 
cji
1/22/13
 
Commanded from on high to obey
None exempt from this command;
 
Required is our soul then to pay
In all things obedience is required;
 
None to bear any burden or work
As many hear the word yet none;
 
Fire to be kindled where all found
Devouring all in haste by the fire;
 
Anger shall not be quenched today
To dishonor the Lord in his anger;
 
Each to hallow the sabbath day
Profound this command to each!
 
Jeremiah 17:27 But if ye will not hearken unto me
to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden,
even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem
on the sabbath day; then will
I kindle a fire in the gates thereof,
and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem,
and it shall not be quenched.
