This is a sampler worked by Ann Bray aged 10. It was finished 29th March 1826.

The text reads

Go like your heavenly Father feed the poor

And carry comfort to the sick mans door

Think of your heavenly Fathers love to you

And imitate his love in all you do

Mercy shall then your early steps attend

And from the snares of Death your paths defend.

The first verse finishes

Pity the widow, be the orphan's friend

And if you cannot give them, freely lend

The hymn continues

For you the poor man's prayers shall reach heaven

And blessings more than you can ask be given

And when the righteous Judge from heaven descends

Before the world he'll own you for his friends.
