Death & Dying
On Mrs. Lunell
From Epitaphs · Osborn ed., vol. 8 (1870)
Death & Dying
A Follower of the bleeding Lamb
Her burden here laid down,
The cross of Jesu's pain and shame
Exchanging for a crown.
True witness for her pardoning Lord,
Whose blood she felt applied.
She kept the faith, obey'd the word.
And lived a saint, and died.
Reader, hei' life and death approve.
Believe thy sins forgiven;
Be pure in heart, be fiU'd with love,
And follow her to heaven.
