A Grave Concern: So Jesus slept
Posted in Morbid Musings, tagged cleveland, east cleveland, epitaph, first presbyterian church cemetery, hymn, nelaview cemetery, ohio, poem on October 13, 2011| Leave a Comment »
The epitaph for Parys Plumb is taken from a 1734 poem by Isaac Watts entitled “A Funeral Ode at the Interment of the Body, Supposed to Be Sung by Mourners.” Watts’ words were set to music by George Handel to become a hymn known as “Unveil Thy Bosom, Faithful Tomb.” The entire hymn and music can be found here.
So Jesus slept; God’s dying sone
Passed through the grave, & blest the bed:
Rest heir blessed saint, till from his throne
The morning break and pierce the shade
