The Sabbath a Source of Joy
Scripture
KJV
This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
ESV
This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118:24
Poem
Oft as this peaceful day shall come,
Lord, raise my thoughts from earthly things,
And bear them to my heavenly home,
On faith and hope's celestial wings:
Till the last gleam of life decay,
In one eternal Sabbath day.
