and interred the 12 being 84 years

As members of Christ's church they lived
With faith and trust in him they died
A voice from the tomb and God's word
Spectators pause read hear and see
As you are now long once were we
Be warned by us prepare to die
Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord
Yea so saith the spirit for they rest from
Labour and their works do follow them.
