    (continued from previous page)
    The God who will judge
    Has counted them fall
    He has numbered each grace
    And written each fault
    In his book they are written
    Against the last day
    O Mother ask Jesus
    To wash them away
    For one drop of His blood
    Which for sinners was spilt
    Was sufficient to cleanse
    The whole world from its guilt
    I fear near to dawn
    I shall draw my last breath
    This sleep I shall take
    Is this long sleep of death
    Be near me dear Mother
    For Jesus dear sake
    My should in eternity shall awake
