UBITUARY
"I Love The Lord, (AMEC Hymnal #313) lloue the Lord, He heard my cries, and pitied euery gr'?an; Long as I liue, when troubles rise, I'll hasten to His throne.
I loue the Lord; He bowed His ear, and chased my grief away; 0 let my heart no more despair while I haue breath to pray.
The Lord beheld me sore distressed: He bade my pains remoue; Return my soul to God thy rest. For thou hast know His foue.
Isaac Watts
