ON THE GRAVE OF A CHILD IN MORWENSTOW CHURCHYARD.
Those whom God loves die young;
They see no evil days;
No falsehood taints their tongue,
No wickedness their ways.
They see no evil days;
No falsehood taints their tongue,
No wickedness their ways.
Baptized, and so made sure
To win their safe abode;
What could we pray for more?
They die, and are with God.
To win their safe abode;
What could we pray for more?
They die, and are with God.
1840.
