into a more perfect life in Christ, and
have stronger bonds in heaven. Shall
not all her friends initiate her example
in life, and in death find a reward in
Christ as she has found.
ION thee D our God we rest
Letting life pillow calmly on,
And we know the last Is best.
When the crown Of Joy is won,
In thy might all things We bear.
In thy love find bitter sweet,
And with all our grief and care
sit in patience at thy feet
