Dust to its narrow house beneath
Soul to its place on high;
they that have seen thy look in death
know more may fear to die.
Lone are the paths and sad the bowers,
Whence thy meek smile is gone.
But O a brighter home than ours
in Heaven is now thine own.

Unveil thy bosom faithful lamb.
Take this new treasure to thy trust.
And give these sacred relics room
To slumber in the silent dust.
Nor pain nor grief nor anxious fear
Invade thy bounds, no mortal u[broken][ es;]
Can reach the peaceful sleep[broken] [here]
While angels watch the safe [broken] [repose.]

saith the Spirit for they rest from

46 years.
He was a bright and shining light.
An exhortor and class leader in the
M.E. Church.
His death did cause his friends much pai
but now for him eternal gain.
His soul on wrapturous [sic] wings did fly;
To live with God eternally.
Meet for the fellowship above,
He heard the cry arise my love.
I came, his dying looks replied
And lamblike as his Lord he died.
