- Religion should our thoughts embrace / Amid our youthful bloom / Twill fit you for declining age / And for the awful tomb / Tis love that makes religion sweet / Tis love that makes us rise / With willing mind and ardent feet / To yonder happy skies. / Ruth Boden aged 10 years / August 30, 1822 (From a hymn with words by John Fawcett 1782) //
