| Our sympathy is with the family and all who knew and loved Adrienne Price Cox. Her parents, Dr. and Mrs. Bruce Price were dear friends of ours. We talked to Adrienne last year at the N.N.H.S. Class of '57 Christmas dinner at the Omni. She had been through so much, yet she was still beautiful. We were fortunate to be invited to this party as we are friends of Pat (Branch) and Richard Coltrane of that class. We graduated in '60 and '61. May God bless and give each of you strength. |

Servant of God, Well Done!
Words by
Charles Wesley (28 Dec 1707 - 29 Mar 1788)
Music by
George J. Elvey (27 Mar 1816 - 9 Dec 1893)
(The Methodist Hymnal, 1966, #288)
Wesley wrote this hymn in 1770 on
the occasion of the death of clergyman George White.
Elvey's tune, "Diademata", has been set to several other hymns, notably "Crown
Him with Many Thorns" and "Soldiers of Christ, Arise".
Servant of God, well done!
Thy glorious warfare’s past;
The battle’s fought, the race is won,
And thou art crowned at last.
With saints enthroned on high,
Thou dost thy Lord proclaim,
And still to God salvation cry,
Salvation to the Lamb!
O happy, happy soul!
In ecstasies of praise,
Long as eternal ages roll,
Thou seest Thy Savior’s face.
Redeemed from earth and pain,
Ah! when shall we ascend,
And all in Jesus’ presence reign
With our translated friend?
