by Unknown

On the seventh day rested th’ Omnipotent Lord,

As he looked on each beautiful birth:—

On the firmament, stretched from the east to the west,

On the far flowing sea, and the fast teeming land,

And he saw they were good, and the Sabbath was blest,

The Sabbath! the sanctified season of rest

To the creatures that came from his hand.

Through darkest wood the illumined sight;
