Unconscious now in peaceful sleep,From all her cares at rest,While friends around are called to weep,She is divinely blessed.

2

Away from Satan's tempting snare,Her faith 's no longer tried:In Jesus she is sleeping there;For in bright hope she died.

As printed Words only. As printed: hymn number «940» (large) in the right column of p. 315, below hymn 939 and «William Cameron.», with the reference line «179, 943.» in italic figures beside it (sing to the tunes of hymns 179 ORTONVILLE or 943 LILLIE, both C. M.; no meter is printed — the lines 8.6.8.6 are C. M.). Stanzas numbered «1»–«2» without periods (written «1.»–«2.» here, as in the other deliveries of this book); lines 2 and 4 indented. The first word «UNCONSCIOUS» is set in a capital and small capitals; written «Unconscious». «faith 's» (stanza 2) is set with a gap between «faith» and the apostrophe and is written so, as «I 'll» in HT_0122, HT_0328 and other deliveries of this book. The print sets a thin space before «;» and «:» («there ;», «tried :»); it is closed up here. Apostrophes are written straight («Satan's», «faith 's»). «Anon.» in italics, right-aligned, after stanza 2. Spelling («blessed»), punctuation and capitals are the print's.
