Grave of Charles Spurgeon

Here lies the body of
CHARLES HADDON SPURGEON
Waiting for the appearing of his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ
Also that of his dearly beloved wife, SUSANNAH
Born January 15, 1832, Died October 22, 1903
His love in time past forbids me to think
He’ll leave me at last in trouble to sink
Each sweet Ebenezer I have in review
Confirms his good pleasure to help me quite through
Since all that I meet shall work for my good
The bitter is sweet, the medicine food.
Though painful at present will cease before long
And then, O how pleasant the conquerors song.

2 Timothy 4 Chapter 8 Ver.
I have fought a good fight
I have finished my course
I have kept the faith, thenceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness which the Lord the righteous Judge shall give me at that day and not to me only but unto all them also that love his appearing.

This monument was erected in loving memory of C.H. SPURGEON
who was born at Keveldon Essex June 19th, 1834
and fell asleep in Jesus at Mentone France January 31, 1892

E’er since by faith I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply
Redefining love has been my theme
And shall be til I die
Then in a nobler sweeter song
I’ll sing Thy power to save
When this poor lisping stammering tongue
Lies silent in the grave.
