As Jesus and his followers br Upon a Sabbath morn br Were walking by a wheat field br They plucked the ears of corn. br br They plucked it, they rubbed it, br They blew the husks away, br Which grieved the pious pharisees br Upon the Sabbath day. br br And Jesus said, 'A riddle br Answer if you can, br Was man made for the Sabbath br Or Sabbath made for man?' br br I do not love the Sabbath, br The soapsuds and the starch, br The troops of solemn people br Who to Salvation march. br br I take my book, I take my stick br On the Sabbath day, br In woody nooks and valleys br I hide myself away. br br To ponder there in quiet br God's Universal Plan, br Resolved that church and Sabbath br Were never made for man.
