From that time, one of her favorite hymns
was that, being with the verse: Let me dwell on Golgotha,
Weep and love my life away!
While I see him on the tree
Weep, and bleed, and die for me.
Another of her favorite hymns was this:
One there is above all others,

Which hymn she had learnt by heart, and frequently
repeated with a peculiar emphasis.

Drawn from Immanuel's veins;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains.

That fountain in his day;
And there have I as vile as he,
Wash'd all my sins away.

E're since, by faith, I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love had been my theme,
And shall be till I die.

When this poor lisping, stamm'ring tongue
Lies silent in the grave.

and always enjoyed good health.

with a nervous fever, she felt happy when called upon to assist in attending
them.
