Triumphant Songs No.2 ‎#75

75. Remember, Keep Holy

1 If you meet a comrade on the Sabbath day,
Who would seek to lead you into paths astray,
Be a little hero, and your courage show,
Tell him very plainly No!

Refrain:
No! no! no! I cannot go,
‘Tis the Lord’s command and I’ll obey,
In his word I read it,
‘Twas the Lord who said it,
“Remember, keep holy, the Sabbath day.”

2 If along the highway, or the busy street,
Little Sabbath breakers you should chance to meet,
Be a little Christ, do not with them go,
Let your action tell them No! [Refrain]

3 In the world around you, in the sky above,
There are hearts to cheer you, there are souls to love,
Follow in the pathway of your Lord below,
Never from the right way go. [Refrain]
