Marks and inscriptions
Jesus, lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly/ While the billows near me roll, while the tempest still is high/ Hide me o my Saviour hide, Till the storm of life is past/ safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last/ Plenteous grace with Thee I find/ Grace to pardon all my sin/ Let the healing streams abound, make and keep me pure within/ Thou of life the fountain art/ Freely let me take of Thee/ Spring Thou up within my heart/ Rise to all eternity/ Ann Dixon AD MDCCCLIX
