INLOVING REMEMBRANCE
OF
ARTHUR JOHN SHEPPARD
WHO FELL ASLEEP IN JESUS
AUGUST 7TH 1881.
AGED 27 YEARS.
OH CALL IT NOT DEATH IT IS LIFE BEGUN
FOR THE WATERS ARE PASSED THE HAVEN IS WON
THE RANSOMED SPIRIT HATH REACHED THE SHORE
WHERE THEY WEEP AND SLEEP AND SIN NO MORE
HE IS SAFE IN HIS FATHER'S HOME ABOVE
IN THE PLACE PREPARED BY HIS SAVIOUR'S LOVE
TO DEPART FROM A WORLD OF SIN AND STRIFE
AND BE WITH JESUS YES THIS IS LIFE
