When we present God's holy law,
And arguments from scripture draw;
Objectors say, to pick a flaw,
"It's Jewish."
Though at the first Jehovah blessed
And sanctified His day of rest;
The same belief is still expressed -
"It's Jewish."
Though with the world this rest began
And thence through all the scriptures ran,
And Jesus said 'twas made for man -
"It's Jewish."
Though not with Jewish rites, which passed
But with the moral law was classed
Which must endure while time shall last -
"It's Jewish."
Though the disciples, Luke and Paul,
Continue still this rest to call
The 'Sabbath day', this answers all -
"It's Jewish."
The gospel teachers' plain expression,
That 'Sin is of the law transgression,'
Seems not to make the least impression -
"It's Jewish."
They love the rest of man's invention,
But if Jehovah's day we mention,
This puts an end to all contention -
"It's Jewish."
