It's amazing how pretty some of these are, do you happen to know what it all says at the bottom?

The text is from an old Scottish hymn, The Death and Burial of a Saint.Why do we mourn departing friends
Or shake at death’s alarms?
’Tis but the voice that Jesus sends
To call them to His arms.

Good eye! Some epitaphs were written by a family member/pastor/the carver/whoever, but more often they came from sources like the Bible, or books of poetry, or hymns like this one.
