Forget not the day of the Sabbath, <br />Its mention is like a pleasant offering. <br />During it the dove found resting place, <br />And there the weary may relax. <br />The day is honored by the Children of Faith, <br />Careful to observe it are fathers and sons. <br />Engraved upon two tablets of stone, <br />From great power and mighty strength. <br />And they all came in Covenant together, <br />In unison they said, "We shall do and we shall listen." <br />And they commenced and answered, "God is One," <br />Blessed is He that gives strength to the weary. <br />He spoke in His holiness by the mountain of Mohr spice <br />"Remember and guard the seventh day." <br />And all of his commandments to be completed together <br />Strengthen the loins and gather up power. <br />The nation that is in motion, like lost sheep, <br />By covenant He will remember to recall it, <br />So that an evil happening may not befall them, <br />Just as You have sworn by the waters of Noah.<br /><br />Yehudah HaLevi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-seventh-day/
