Elizabeth, w/o The Rev Francis GORDON, (Rector of this parish) Who ended her life on earth, Dec 7 1882 Was laid to rest here, Dec 12 [Reverse side of Stone] For a Space the tired body lies with feet towards the dawn, Till there breaks the last and brightest Easter Morn But the soul in contemplation utters earnest prayers and strong Bursting at the Resurrection into song To that brightest of all meetings bring us Jesus Christ at last to thy cross Through death and judgement, holding fast. Amen |

Rev Francis GORDON, First Rector of Biddulph Moor, who, After he served his own generation By the Will of God, fell asleep In Jesus at The Rectory, 27 July 1884 And was laid to rest August 1st 1884, aged 72 years [Reverse side of stone] O God our help u****** (in ages) past Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the **ny (stormy) blast And our Eternal time (home) Under the shadow of thy throne Thy saints have dwell secured Sufficient is Thine arm alone And our defence is secure. Before the hills in order stood Or earth received her frame From everlasting Thou and GOD. To endless years the same A thousand ages in Thy sight, Are like an evening gone; Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun. Time like and everlasting stream Bears all its sons away They fly forgotten as a dream Dies at the opening day. O GOD our help in ages past Our home for years to come Be though our Guard while troubles last And in our Eternal Home, Amen |
