From Attwater's Diary, 26 May 1791, written just after her Miscarriage

God of my life! accept my humble praise

For all thy goodness thro’ my varied days

Goodness & mercy has each want supplied

Thou art my Father Thou my gracious guide

Should future time on earth be longer given

Be it devoted to y^e God of Heaven

Supreemly Thee my heart w^d still adore

Grateful confess past love & trust for more

Next to my God the Tribute w^d I pay

To Friends whose kindness prompts the grateful lay

Accept my thanks still may I thankful prove

Merit your kindness & be blest with Love

When Life is past & Death must be our doom

Sweet be our passage to the silent Tomb

Rising triumphant join the blest above

In perfect praises of Redeeming Love
