Death & Dying

On Mrs. Horton. (1786)

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Epitaphs · Osborn ed., vol. 8 (1870)

Death & Dying

A Meek and lowly follower of the T.amb,
She more than conquer'd all in Jesu's name,
Wash'd in His blood, and kept her garments white,
And blameless walk'd in her Redeemer's sight,
Till fiU'd with love she fainted on His breast,
And found within His arms her everlasting rest.
