I hope you will enjoy this as much as I have. It was written by Uriah Smith


"When we present God's holy law
And arguments from the scriptures draw,
Objectors say, to pick a flaw:
It's Jewish!

Though at first Jehova blessed
And sanctified His day of rest,
The same belief is still expressed:
It's Jewish!

Though with Creation this rest began
And thence through all the scriptures ran,
And Jesus said 'twas mad for man--
It's Jewish!

Though not with Jewish rites which passed,
But with the moral Law 'twas classed,
Which must exist while time shall last--
It's Jewish!

If from the Bible we present
The Sabbath's meaning and intent,
This answers every argument:
It's Jewish!

Though the disciples, Luke, and Paul,
Continued still this rest to call
The Sabbath day, this answers all:
It's Jewish!

The gospel teacher's plain expression
That sin is of the Law transgression
Seems not to make the least impression;
It's Jewish!

Oh yes who thus God's day abuse
Simply because 'twas kept by Jews,
The Savior, too, you must refuse--
As Jewish!

The Scripture, then , we may expect
For the same reason you'll reject.
For if you'll stop to recollect,
They're Jewish!

Thus the apostles, too, must fall,
For Andrew, Peter, James, and Paul,
Thomas, Matthew, John and all
Were Jewish!

So to your hapless state resign
Yourself in wretchedness to pine;
Salvation surely you'll decline;
It's Jewish!"

Isn't it so true...
