IN
MEMORY OF
SARAH WILKINSON who Died April 1st
18[?]7 Aged 69 Years.
Our friend has dropt her cumbrous clay
And Joyful Soars the shining way
While Kindred spirits spread their wings
And bear her to the King of Kings.
Long had she known the Saviour's Love
And fix'd her heart on things above.
Long had she run the even pace
A painful – not uncertain race
But now she shines in endless Light
In all her Father's Glory bright
A spotless robe to her is given
And all the glorious Joys of Heaven.
She sees with Joy her Saviours Face
And sings the Triumphs of his Grace
Then casts her crown before the throne
And glory gives to God alone.
