It Is Enough: Earth's Struggles Soon Shall Cease

Transcript:

**It is enough: Earth's struggles soon shall cease, and Jesus call us to Heavens perfect peace.**

Cemetery:  North East
Road Cemetery, Adelaide

State: South Australia

Year of the Memorial: 1901

Reference:

This is from the Hymn "Peace, Perfect Peace" by Edward H. Bickersteth, Jr. (1825–1906)

Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin?
The blood of Jesus whispers peace within.

Peace, perfect peace, by thronging duties pressed?
To do the will of Jesus, this is rest.

Peace, perfect peace, with sorrows surging round?
On Jesus’ bosom naught but calm is found.

Peace, perfect peace, with loved ones far away?
In Jesus’ keeping we are safe, and they.

Peace, perfect peace, our future all unknown?
Jesus we know, and He is on the throne.

Peace, perfect peace, death shadowing us and ours?
Jesus has vanquished death and all its powers.

**It is enough: earth’s struggles soon shall cease,**
And Jesus call us to Heaven’s perfect peace.

There The Wicked Cease From Troubling

Transcript:

**There the wicked cease from troubling,**

**and there the weary be at rest.**

**Job 3 Chap. 17 Verse.**

Cemetery:  St Saviour’s, Glen Osmond, Adelaide

State: South Australia

Year of the Memorial: 1878

Reference: St Saviour’s, Church Cemetery, 1870's, Bible Quote, Book of Job, Old Testament

Comments:

The quote is from Job 3:17

"There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest."

It is from quite a long passage in the Bible, I have included Job 3:13-26 to try and give the meaning of the message.

*13**For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,*

*14**With kings and counsellors of the earth, which build desolate places for themselves;*

*15**Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:*

*16**Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.*

*17****There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.***

*18**There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.*

*19**The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.*

*20**Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;*

*21**Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;*

*22**Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?*

*23**Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?*

*24**For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.*

*25**For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.*

*26**I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.*

For Tom Has Gone Aloft

Transcript:

**For Tom has gone aloft**

Cemetery:  North East
Road Cemetery, Adelaide

State: South Australia

Year of the Memorial: 1893

Reference:

This is from a United Kingdom folk song by Charles Dibdin called "Tom Bowling"

The lyrics are below:

```
Here a sheer hulk, lies poor Tom Bowling
 The darling of our crew;
 No more he'll hear the tempest howling
 For death has broached him to.
 His form was of the manliest beauty, his heart was kind and soft;
 Faithful below, Tom did his duty
 And now he's gone aloft
 And now he's gone aloft

 Tom never from his word departed
 His virtues were so rare:
 His friends were many and true hearted
 His Poll was kind and fair;
 And then he'd sing so blithe and jolly
 Ah! Many's the time and oft;
 But mirth is turn'd to melancholy
 **For Tom is gone aloft**
 For Tom is gone aloft

 Yet shall poor Tom find pleasant weather
 When He who all commands
 Shall give, to call life's crew together
 The word to pipe all hands:
 Thus Death, who kings and tars despatches
 In vain Tom's life hath doff'd
 For tho' his body's under hatches
 His soul is gone aloft
 His soul is gone aloft

 Charles Dibdin (1745-1814)

I Shall Go To Him

Transcript:

**I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.**

Cemetery:  North East
Road Cemetery, Adelaide

State: South Australia

Year of the Memorial: 1892

This is a quote from the Old Testament book of Samuel, from Samuel 4:23

"But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? **I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.**"

For further reference:

Samuel 4:18-23

18 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he would not hearken unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?

19 But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.

20 Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the Lord, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat.

21 Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread.

22 And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether God will be gracious to me, that the child may live?

23 But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? **I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me**.

1 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,”for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 **‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’[b] or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”**

Unbroken by the last of foes.

To be for such a slumber meet,

With holy confidence to sing

That death has lost his venomed sting!

*Asleep in Jesus! Peaceful rest,*
Whose waking is supremely blest;

No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour

That manifests the Savior’s pow’r.

*Asleep in Jesus! Oh, for me*
May such a blessed refuge be!

Securely shall my ashes lie,

And wait the summons from on high.

*Asleep in Jesus! Far from thee*
Thy kindred and their graves may be;

But there is still a blessed sleep,

From which none ever wakes to weep.

Ecclesiasticus 44:14

*Their bodies are buried in peace; but **their name liveth for evermore**.*

The paragraph is Ecclesiasticus 44:7-14

7 *All these were honoured in their generations, and were the glory of their times. 8 There be of them, that have left a name behind them, that their praises might be reported. 9 And some there be, which have no memorial; who are perished, as though they had never been; and are become as though they had never been born; and their children after them. 10 But these were merciful men, whose righteousness hath not been forgotten. 11 With their seed shall continually remain a good inheritance, and their children are within the covenant. 12 Their seed standeth fast, and their children for their sakes. 13 Their seed shall remain for ever, and their glory shall not be blotted out. 14 Their bodies are buried in peace; but **their name liveth for evermore**.*

We Will Remember Them

**We Will Remember Them**

Cemetery:  Mount
Crawford, Adelaide Hills

State: South Australia

Year of the Memorial:

Reference: Mount Crawford, Poem, War

Comments:

This saying is famously used in Remembrance Day ceremonies across the commonwealth. It is taken from a poem called 'For the Fallen', by Laurence Binyon. The most commonly used verse is the forth verse (Lines 13 to 16) which contains this phrase:

*They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;*
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

**We will remember them.**

The full poem is below:

*With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,*
England mourns for her dead across the sea.

Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit,

Fallen in the cause of the free. (1–4)

*Solemn the drums thrill: Death august and royal*
Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres.

There is music in the midst of desolation

And a glory that shines upon our tears. (5–8)

*They went with songs to the battle, they were young,*
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.

They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,

They fell with their faces to the foe. (9–12)

*They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;*
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

**We will remember them.** (13–16)

*They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;*
They sit no more at familiar tables at home;

They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;

They sleep beyond England's foam. (17–20)

*But where our desires are and our hopes profound,*
Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight,

To the innermost heart of their own land they are known

As the stars are known to the Night; (21–24)

*As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust,*
Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain,

As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness,

To the end, to the end, they remain. (25–28)

**And I heard a voice from Heaven, saying unto me, write blessed are the**
dead which die in the Lord from henceforth, yea, saith the spirit that they may
rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

Cemetery:  North East Road Cemetery, Adelaide

Year of the Memorial: 1881

Reference:

This is a bible verse, Revelations 14:13 (King James Bible)

"And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the
dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they
may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them."

In other epitaphs the "Blessed are the dead" and variations have
been seen on other memorials.

It is difficult to select a selection to assist in the understanding of this
verse. But to try and further illuminate the verse, I have the following:

12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that
keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

13 **And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write,**
Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the
Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the
cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and
in his hand a sharp sickle.

15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a
loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for
the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.

16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the
earth; and the earth was reaped.

"**Blessed are the pure in heart**: for they shall see God."

Whilst I haven't quoted the full Sermon on the Mount below I have taken a large portion of it, Matthew 5:1-12

"*1* *And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:*

*2**And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,*

*3**Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.*

*4**Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.*

*5**Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.*

*6**Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.*

*7**Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.*

*8****Blessed are the pure in heart**: for they shall see God.*

*9**Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.*

*10**Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.*

*11**Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.*

*12**Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you."*

Comments:

This epitaph is taken from the poem Lycidas by John Milton.

The full poem can be found:

*https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44733/lycidas*

 The verse the excerpt is from:

*"Weep no more, woeful shepherds, weep no more,*

*For Lycidas, your sorrow, is not dead,*

*Sunk though he be beneath the wat'ry floor;*

*So sinks the day-star in the ocean bed,*

*And yet anon repairs his drooping head,*

*And tricks his beams, and with new spangled ore*

*Flames in the forehead of the morning sky:*

***So Lycidas sunk low, but mounted high***

***Through the dear might of him that walk'd the waves;***

*Where, other groves and other streams along,*

*With nectar pure his oozy locks he laves,*

*And hears the unexpressive nuptial song,*

*In the blest kingdoms meek of joy and love.*

*There entertain him all the Saints above,*

*In solemn troops, and sweet societies,*

*That sing, and singing in their glory move,*

*And wipe the tears for ever from his eyes.*

*Now, Lycidas, the shepherds weep no more:*

*Henceforth thou art the Genius of the shore,*

*In thy large recompense, and shalt be good*

*To all that wander in that perilous flood."*

Far beyond this world of care,
We shall find our missing treasures,
In our Father’s mansion fair.**

Faithful friends around us gather,

Faithful friends our footsteps guide;

But how many more are waiting,

Waiting on the other side. [Refrain]

Anchored safe where storms are o’er;
On the border land we left them,
Soon to meet, and part no more. [Refrain]**

Year of the Memorial: Unknown

Reference: Mount Crawford, Song, Child

Comments:

Whilst the information is not in the photo I believe the memorial is for a child.

The epitaph is from the Song 'Something Beautiful Remains' by Tina Turner

It is from the second verse:

"*We're living in a world of stars and dust*
Between heaven and all that surrounds us

We're travelers here, spirits passing through

And the love we give, is all that will endure

Hey now, what we had is gone

But I still remember you

**Just like a rose after the rain**
**Something beautiful remains**"
