It is the joyous day of the whole week. - Henry Ward Beecher And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath. - Bible, Mark (ch.

Mute is the voice of rural labour, hush'd The ploughboy's whistle, and the milkmaid's song. - James Grahame, The Sabbath--Song Gently on tiptoe Sunday creeps, Cheerfully from the stars he peeps, Mortals are all asleep below, None in the village hears him go; E'en chanticleer keeps very still, For Sunday whispered, 'twas his will. - John Peter Hebel, Sunday Morning Sundaies observe: think when the bells do chime, 'Tis angel's musick; therefore come not late. - George Herbert, Temple--The Church Porch (st. 65) The Sundaies of man's life, Thredded together on time's string, Make bracelets to adorn the wife Of the eternal, glorious King. On Sunday heaven's gates stand ope; Blessings are plentiful and rife. More plentiful than hope. - George Herbert, Temple--The Church--Sunday He who ordained the Sabbath loved the poor. - Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. Now, really, this appears the common case Of putting too much Sabbath into Sunday-- But what is your opinion, Mrs. Grundy? - Thomas Hood, An Open Question (st. 1) Day of the Lord, as all our days should be! - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Christus (pt. III, John Endicott, act I, sc. 2) So sang they, and the empyrean rung With Hallelujahs. Thus was Sabbath kept. - John Milton, Paradise Lost (bk. VII, l. 632) For, bless the gude mon, gin he had his ain way, He's na let a cat on the Sabbath say "mew;" Nae birdie maun whistle, nae lambie maun play, An' Phoebus himsel' could na travel that day, As he'd find a new Joshua in Andie Agnew. - Thomas Moore, Sunday Ethics (st. 3) E'en Sunday shines no Sabbath day to me. - Alexander Pope, Epistle to Dr. Arbuthnot--Prologue to the Satires (l. 12) See Christians, Jews, one heavy sabbath keep, And all the western world believe and sleep. - Alexander Pope, The Dunciad (bk. III, l. 99) The sabbaths of Eternity. One sabbath deep and wide. - Lord Alfred Tennyson, St. Agnes' Eve (st. 3)
