On the morning of Tuesday, September 25, 1877, George Moyle passed away from this wilderness to his inheritance above. For thirty-five years he served as pastor for the church meeting at Rye-Lane, Peckham. On Sunday afternoon, October 6, a special service was held at the chapel, during which time the congregation sang a hymn, composed by his wife, in commemoration of his death and celebration of his promotion to glory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our dearest old friend has now fled to his rest,<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>And no longer is sighing with pain;<\/p>\n

That poor worn-out body, now sleeping in dust,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Will never know sorrow again.<\/p>\n

He once sowed in tears,\u2014now is reaping in joy,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For Jesus has wiped them away,\u2014<\/p>\n

And to fountains of waters is leading him on,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Where bliss cannot yield to decay.<\/p>\n

What must be the transport of joy and delight\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To the soul that was fettered so long!<\/p>\n

Just bursting the shackles of earth it ascends\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To join in the angelic song.<\/p>\n

It cheerfully leaves it poor cumbersome clay\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To slumber awhile in the tomb;<\/p>\n

But Jesus ere long will revive it again\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In full immortality’s bloom.<\/p>\n

Like a poor worn-out sailor, he longed for the port;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He had fainted unless he believed,<\/p>\n

To see Zion’s King in His beauty at home,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And his soul to His glory received.<\/p>\n

And now safe arrived at the haven of rest,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Where sorrow shall never be known;<\/p>\n

Hark! how he is singing with angels above,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To the Lamb in the midst of the throne:\u2014<\/p>\n

\u201cTo Thee who hath loved us and washed us from sin,<\/p>\n

Be blessing and honour Divine;<\/p>\n

And since Thou wast slain to redeem us to God,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All glory and honour be Thine.”<\/p>\n
