by Unknown

And weekly sacrifice of praise.

This day the light, time’s eldest born,

Her glorious beams did first display,

And then the evening and the morn

Did first obtain the name of day.

Discretion grant me so to know

What Sabbath-rites Thou dost require,

And grace my duty so to do,

That I may keep Thy law entire.

George Wither.
