Remember the Sabbath Day To Keep It Holy

Now it's time, a special time, the highlight of the week
   Time to say goodbye to cares, to worries and concerns
To shut the door on wearying labor, be it mighty or be it meek

Time to welcome the Sabbath's radiance, the Queen in all her splendor
   To sing, to dance, to chant the prayers with our families and our friends --
Or else admit we lack the faith to joyously -- to lovingly -- implement
   The sacret trust of God Almighty's fourth commandment
