Inscription
In memory of
Mr. Stephen Tufts,
who died
March 12, 1832.
Æt. 84.
Wilt thou forsake my hoary hairs,
And leave my fainting heart.
Who shall sustain my sinking years,
If God my strength depart.
By long experience I have known
Thy sovereign power to save;
At thy command, I venture down
Securely to the grave.
When I lie buried deep in the dust,
My flesh shall be thy care;
(These withering limbs with Thee I trust)
(To raise them strong and fair.)
