- Teach me to love, that I may dread / The grave as little as my bed; / To die, that this vile body may / Rise glorious at the awful day. / O my God, reach down thine hand / And take me up to thee, / That I about thy throne may stand, / And all they glories see. / Elizabeth Downes's Work March 16th / 1821 //
