A Popish bigot, I was strictly bred:
In superstition's chain my soul was led ;
Oft' to a Priest, in vain, my sins confest,
Yet in so doing, I could ne'er find rest;
But when my Bible I did humbly read,
Then was my soul from Papal bondage freed :
And, to my Saviour, I my sins confest,

Whose pardoning mercy, gave me peace and rest.

Despised by many, loved by few,—
But he who wandered once forlorn,
The object of contempt and scorn,
Was brought in Jesus to believe,
And pardon from his love receive.

The graves around for many a year,
Were dug by him who slumbers here;
Till worn with age, he dropped his spade,
And in this dust, his bones were laid :
As he now mouldering, shares the doom,
Of those he buried in the tomb,

So will his body too, with theirs arise,
To share the judgment of the skies.

I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.

506.

Give to the Father praise,

Give glory to the Son,
And to the Spirit's grace.

Be equal honor done,

Who all unite our Souls to save,

And make us Conq'rors o'er the grave.
