Jag I.
Come, all kind friends, both old and young,
Oh. bark, and you shall hear
How death did quickly snatch Child

Was caught on stone by its little frocks.
In falling DER one Sabbath day
While the parents dear were not away.

fastened 10 the depot Of grief and gloom.
Jag 3.

To take their last farewell

To that bright world above.

And sing redeeming love.

In yonder blest abode.

Parents and children on that shore
Where farewell tears are never shed
And scadings are no more.
