St Abbs:
The monument is to the widows and orphans of St Abbs
whose husbands and fathers were lost in the Eyemouth fishing disaster of 1881.
Thrice in the chapters of prevailing dark
The Lord said, "Father"; first, at that crossroad
Where the road taken, and its end, were stark;
"Father, forgive them ...": next the Saviour showed
The weight of grace before He bore sin's load;
And last, in words we barely understand
He placed His spirit in His Father's hand.
Luke 22: 42; 23: 34; 23: 46.
Never noticed that before David, three times, it settles it.
