"It's Jewish"

When we present G-d's Holy Law,
And arguments from Scripture draw,
Objector's say, to pick a flaw,
'It's Jewish.'

Though at the first Yahveh blessed
And sanctified His Holy Day of rest,
The same belief is still expressed,
'It's Jewish.'

Though with the world this rest began,
And thence from all Scriptures ran,
And Yeshua (Jesus) said 'twas made 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,
Continue 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.'

They love the rest of man's invention,
But if Yahveh's Day we mention,
This puts an end to all contention,
'It's Jewish.'

O ye who thus G-d's Day abuse,
Simply because 'twas kept by Jews,
The Saviour, too, you must refuse,
He's Jewish.

The Scriptures, then, we may expect
For the same reason you'll reject;
For if you will but 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 helpless state resign
Yourself in wretchedness to pine;
Salvation, surely you'll decline,
It's Jewish.
