1878

A Tongue spoken by Mother Bushman interpreted by Mary Ann Davis 6 May

Oh my father & my God that dwellest in the heavens the father of my spirits and the spirits of the spirits of men, look on me in pity, because I am thy Daughter. & I fear I am about to join the valey and shadow of death, but I fear no evil, for thou will be my prop & stay, my mind is clear as a summer morning I have a peace that surpaseth understanding, permit me O god to depart in peace, for my body not to be racked with pain & anguish lay underneath me the arm of thy to be my stay and suport. O my father a joy unspeakable fills my breast because I shall soon behold thy face, fools have said in their heart there is my God, but I know thou art the living God. I have trusted in thee
