- Inscription
- Be it my only wisdom here, / To serve the Lord with filial fear, / With loving gratitude, / Superior sense may I display, / By shunning every evil way, / And walking in the good. / O may I still from sin depart; / A wise and understanding heart, / Jesus, to me be given, / And let me through Thy Spirit know, / To glorify my God below, / And find my way to Heaven. / Then Saviour then my soul receive, / Transported from this vale to live / And reign with thee above / Where faith is sweetly lost in sight / And hope in full supreme delight / And everlasting love.(Note: a Hymn, words by Charles Wesley 1762). (In a catouche at the bottom): Mary Jeeves / October 8th / 1833 //
