Death & Dying
On the Death of Mrs. Mercy Thornton, March I, 1757
From Funeral Hymns, Second Series (1753) · Osborn ed., vol. 6 (1870)
Death & Dying
I The' Almighty will be done,
Who justly claims His own!
Sister, daughter, friend, farewell!
Caught up to thy great reward,
To the bliss ineffable,
To the bosom of thy Lord.
