AND HE DIED by P. J. CAZELLO

First Line: AND HE DIED, EACH RECORD ENDS
Last Line: THE RECORD WILL SHOW IN THE END.
Subject(s): FORGETFULNESS;
And he died, each record ends.
Even the longest struggle thus bends—
The high—the lowly cannot suspend—
This thought, of such an end.

'Tis an end, yet a beginning, my friend,
A promise which Christ did defend.
So on ill tongues do not depend—
Else this beginning in torture will end.

This great beginning that has no end,
On how we cherish it will all depend.
When clothed in the flesh—how we did spend?
The record will show in the end.
