SACRED
to the Memory of
ANTHONY SWIFT
who departed this life
July 26th 1839
Aged 24
My sins were unnumber'd my frailty and pride
As deep as the ocean as strong as the tide
But more strong than the tide and more deep than the sea
Was the love of the Saviour who sorrow'd for me
Accus'd by my conscience oppress'd by my cares
I was found with the fetters of grief and despair
But he pitied my bondage and bade me be free
----- wrought out an endless salvation for me
