"Jordon I have passed through many a weary day
"On earth I wandered to be free
"Honest and poor trod lifes thorny way,
"No comfort save hope in heaven for me
"Though on this bleak hill top my body lies
"Under this stone it moulders into dust
"Remember stranger it will yet arise
"Nor taste of death again but with the past
"Eternal Anthems to my Savour raise
"Redeeming love will be our theme of praise

"Here in the place I made my grave
"Four years before I died
"And did ask some decent men
"To see me safe interred
"As I did get the grant of it
"From J Lennox of the land
"Which he did grant to give me
"As long as time doth stand
