Six days to men are given, but one for God reserved,
Whose throne is in the heavens high, but chose to walk the earth.
One-seventh of the days we live, one-tenth of all we make —
O, he is a gen’rous king who doth so little take!
The kings of men are greedy, the wicked never sleep,
They live to take and take to live, but Christ the Sabbath keeps.
