3. Written for a Grave-stone of a near Relation.
In faith she died; in dust she lies;
But faith foresees that dust shall rise
When Jesus calls, while hope assumes
And boasts her joy among the tombs.
But faith foresees that dust shall rise
When Jesus calls, while hope assumes
And boasts her joy among the tombs.
Or thus
Beneath this stone death's prisoner lies,The stone shall move, the prisoner rise,
When Jesus with almighty word
Calls his dead saints to meet their Lord.
