Gravestone of the Day

Aaron Cutter, 1768, Arlington, MA

Here lyes Buried ye Body
of Ar. AARON CUTTER,
Who departed this Life
July the 9th 1768 in ye
47th Year of His Age.
Farewel, bright soul, a short farewel,
Till we shall meet again above
Til we from bands of clay releas'd
Spring out and climb the shining road.

They sure loved Isaac Watts. Anytime I don't recognize a verse, there's a 50% chance I'll find it in one of his hymns.
