| Description |
English: Upper third has a religious verse; lower two-thirds spot motifs and the inscription in a floral wreath. Surrounded by a flowering vine border on all sides.
The verse reads:
Poor, weak and sinful though I am
I have a rich Almighty Friend
Jesus the Saviour is His name
He freely loves, and without end
He found me wandering far from God
And brought me to his chosen fold
Redeemed me with His precious blood
And with His power my foes controlled
He cheers my heart my wants supplies
And says that I shall shortly be
Enthroned with Him above the skies
Oh! what a Friend is Christ to me!
Oh where are those mansions of light
That home, ever happy and fair
That land where the days are all bright
Unsullied by sorrow and care
Far far from this valley of tears
The Saviour has gone to prepare
Those mansions, and when he appears
His people shall dwell with Him there
Oh happy and glorious 'twill be
To meet in those mansions above
From sin and from sorrow set free
All perfect for ever in love! |
