- Inscription
- Let worldly minds the world pursue / It has no charms for me / Once I admir'd its trifles to / But grace has set me free / The pleasures now no longer please / No more content afford / Far from my heart be joys like these / Now I have known the Lord / As by the light of op''ning day / the stars are all conceald / Lo earthly pleasures fade away / When Jesus is reveal'd / Now Lord I would be thine alone / And wholly live to thee / But may I hope that thou wilt own / A worthless worm like me / Sarah Watsons Work daughter / of Robert & Mary Watson //
