Song (continued)
“As Flora the Queen of the morning Awakened her proud lark to sing...”
(continued from previous page)VI
The church is a standard of Honour
Its modest it's meek and it's mild
And freely it flings round its banner
To nourish the weak and the blind
In it you will find no hard labour
Your Prayers the will gain Sanctity and Heavenly grace without danger
Says the Reverend good Doctor Coveney
VII
Long live our brave talented Dr.
The Blessed title of Divinity
He erected this beautiful Chapel
For us and out posberity
All round grow the pinks and the Daisy
Not far from the honest Bard's home
It blessed by good Bishop Delaney
And next by St. Peter in Rome
VIII
God prosper our noble subscribers
For many a long year may they reign
Our Lord will be their kind provider
In health in wealth and in gain
Their names will be highly recorded
In pages of sound History
In Heaven they will be rewarded
Said the Rev. good Doctor Coveney(continues on next page)
