In memory of Dea^c Joseph

Holbrook who died July the

14^th 1785 in the 71^st

year of his age

Joyful he leaves his house of clay,

On cherubs wings is borne away

Surrounded by a glorious throng;

Each one prepares to join the song.

Pleasure like rivers springs anew,

Heaven wide opens to his view,

Hark how the victor sings above

O wondrous free & boundless love

Loud songs of praise to God alone.

Blessings to Christ upon the throne,

Replete with joy is every face,

On Jesus head the crown they place.

On flowery banks of Edens plain

Kings, priests, & heirs to God they reign.

Laden with fruit which in old age I bore,

Prepare my friends to Come & Sleep with me

Remember as I am for you must be
