Moravian Lives

and being no more able to speak without painful
exertion, he reached out his hand, and bid farewel  farewell
to every one; with an affectionate smile. At length
came the happy moment, of his final redemption -
which he had waited for with such ardent longing,
and on May 15th his blessed soul was released from
its earthly Tabernacle, in which he had sojourned
84 years, 7 Months and 19 days, having served the
Brethren's Unity uninterruptedly for an uninterrupted
Series of 60 years. This memory will remain dear 
and blessed to the whole Brn's Unity, to the Congn in
Fulneck in particular, and to many who were
blessed by his faithful Ministry.

Naught can distub this heir of life
All grief and care is fled
To be with Christ was his desire
And he's now perfected.
