Epitaph on a Tomb Stone

Listen from:
Bold infidelity, turn pale and die!
Beneath this stone three infants’ ashes lie.
Say, Are they lost or saved?
If death’s by sin, they sinned, because they’re here;
If heaven’s by works, in heaven they can’t appear.
Reason—ah! how depraved!
Review the Bible’s sacred page—the knot’s untied,
They died, for Adam sinned; they live, for Jesus died.
