Death no respect of Age or Order makes,
But child or Parent undistinguish'd takes.
Oh! be prepared then all of every age,
Warn'd or unwarn'd, to quit this troubled stage.
God's gracious Promise in his Rest to dwell
Is not to live long but doing well.

(Other side) Remember now as you go-by,
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so must you be,
Prepare then for Eternity.
"It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement."
Hebrews ix, 27.
To Die! The Christian does not die –
Who lives to Christ alone,
But lives eternally,
Through what his Saviour's done.
