Classic Poem

Oh God made a trance on Sunday
All with His holy hand,
He made the sun fair on the moon
Like water on a dry land.

There's six good days all in a week
All for labouring man,
The seventh day to serve the Lord,
Both Father and the Son.

It's when you go to church, dear man,
Down on your knees down fall
And a-praying to our living Lord
For the saving of your soul.

For the saving of your soul, dear man,
Christ died along the road.
We shall never do for our Saviour Christ
As he has done for we.

Three drops of our good Saviour's blood
Were shed on Calvary.
We shall never do by our Saviour Christ
As he has done by we.

Come teach your children well, dear man,
The whiles that you are here.
It will be better for your soul, dear man,
When you lies upon the bier.
