As priests of old, so Christian pastors die
But Christ, the Lord, the great High-priest on high
And the good shepherd, ever lives to save
Those for whose ransom his own life he gave
His church he ever will defend & feed
And bring to endless bliss a numerous seed
Those pastors will a crown of glory wear
Who feed his lambs & sheep with faithful care.

Some hearty friend ƒhall drop his tear
On our dry bones and ƒay
These once were ƒtrong as mine appear
And mine muƒt be as they.
Thus ƒhall our mouldring members teach
What now our ƒenƒes learn
For duƒt and aƒhes loudest preach
Man's infinite concern.

Great God I own the ƒentence Juƒt
And nature muƒt decay;

And trample on the tombs;

My God, my Saviour comes.
