Marvin, Frederic Rowland

Last words

I die of a broken heart, 156

 I die unprepared, 41

 I do, 215

 I do forgive you, 138

 I do not fear death, 36

 I do not mean to be killed to-day, 285

 I fear not death; death is not terrible to me, 59

 I feel as if I were sitting with Mary at the feet of my Redeemer, 129

 I feel as if I were to be myself again, 252

 I feel like a mote in the sunbeam, 223

 I feel now that I am dying, 29

 I feel quite well, only very weak, 154

 I feel the flowers growing over me, 156

 I give thee thanks, O God, for all thy benefits, 89

 I go to my God and Saviour, 132

 I have already confessed my sins to God, 257

 I have always endeavored to the best of my ability, 66

 I have been false to my God, 31

 I have been fortunate in long good health and constant success, 239

 I have been murdered; no remedy can prevent my speedy death, 162

 I have been nearer to you when you have missed me, 165

 I have done my work. It is the most natural thing in the world to die, 238

 I have done the damnable deed, 230

 I have enough, brother; try to save your own life, 120

 I have ever cherished an honest pride; never have I stooped, 255

 I have found at last the object of my love, 145

 I have had a noble share of life, 183

 I have had wealth, rank and power, but if these were all, 7

 I have known thee all the time, 304

 I have led a happy life, 127

 I have loved God, my father and liberty, 265

 I have loved justice and hated iniquity, 118

 I have no enemies except those of the state, 239

 I have no religious joys; but I have hope, 106

 I have no wish to believe on that subject, 217

 I have not so behaved myself, 10

 I have often read and thought of that scripture, 51

 I have opened it, 277

 I have pain--there is no arguing against sense, 23

 I have Paul's understanding, 237

 I have peace of mind, 10

 I have peace, perfect peace, 51

 I have something to tell you, 177

 I have taught men how to live, 66

 I have the flavor of death on my tongue, I taste death, 201

 I heard your voice; but did not understand what you said, 119

 I hope the people of England will be satisfied, 199

 I know that it will be well with me, 100

 "I know that my Redeemer liveth," 167

 I know what you are thinking of, but I have nothing, 310

 I leave this world without a regret, 281

 I'll be shot if I don't believe I'm dying, 282

 I must arrange my pillows for another weary night, 147

 I must now hasten away since my baggage has been sent, 20

 I must sleep now, 51

 I never departed from the true church, 281

 I never thought that it was so easy a matter to laugh, 247

 I now draw near to the harbor of death, 315

 I now feel so weaned from earth, my affections so much in heaven, 305

 I now feel that I am dying. Our care must be, 193

 I only regret that I have but one life to give to my country! 121

 I pray you all pray for me, 25

 I pray you see me safe up the scaffold, 200

 I receive absolution upon this condition, 235
