object type: Bordered sampler, silk, embroidered with polychrome silks in chain, couching, satin and stem stitch and bound with scarlet silk braid.  A wide freely designed floral border frames the main body of the sampler which is taken up by the inscription of the hymn CVII which is worked in black cross-stitch.  The inscription reads 'Hymn CVII/ Living and Dying with god present/ I cannot bear thine absence Lord/ My life expires if thou depart/ be thou my heart still near my God/ and thou my god be near my heart/ I was not born for earth or sin/ Nor can I live on things so vile/ Yet I would stay my father's time/ And hope wait for heaven awhile/ then dearest Lord in thine embrace/ Let me resign my fleeting breath/ and with a smile upon my face/ Pass the important hour of death'.
