That the blessed view of Jesus may comfort them, and his unfading
glory shine upon them,
_We Beseech thee to hear us._
{319}
That the whole triumphant church may soon celebrate their
deliverance and the choir of angels sing new hymns of joy, on
their neverending happiness,
_We Beseech thee to hear us._
That we ourselves may share in their triumph, and unite with all
the citizens of heaven in eternal alleluias,
_We Beseech thee to hear us._
Son of God,
_We Beseech thee to hear us._
Lamb of God, who shalt come with glory to judge the living and
the dead,
_Give rest to the souls of the faithful departed_.
Lamb of God, at whose presence the heavens and the earth shall be
moved,
_Give rest to the souls of the faithful departed_.
Lamb of God, in whose book of life the names of thy elect are
inscribed,
_Give rest to the souls of the faithful departed_.
The Antiphon.
Deliver us, O Lord, from eternal death, in that tremendous day,
when the heavens and the earth shall be moved; whilst thou shalt
come to judge the world by fire. We tremble and are sore afraid
at the discussion which will take place, and at thy future wrath;
when the heavens and the earth shall be moved; when thou shalt
come to judge the world by fire.
That day is a day of wrath, of calamity, and of misery; a great
and a most bitter day; when thou shalt come to judge the world by
fire.
Give them, O Lord, eternal rest, and let perpetual light shine
upon them. Amen.
{320}
Let Us Pray.
O God, the creator and redeemer of all the faithful, grant to the
souls of thy servants departed, the remission of all their sins,
that by means of pious supplications, they may obtain the pardon
which they have ever earnestly desired: who livest and reignest,
&c. Amen.
A Prayer Upon The Day
Of A Person's Decease Or Burial.
O Lord, we commend unto thy infinite clemency, the souls of thy
servants lately deceased: pardon them, we beseech thee, in the
multitude of thy mercies, the sins which they have committed
through human frailty, and grant them eternal life in thy kingdom
of bliss. Amen.
Another Prayer.
O God, whose property it is always to have mercy, and to spare,
we humbly present our prayers to thee in behalf of the soul of
thy servant _N_. which thou hast called out of this world,
beseeching thee not to deliver into the hands of the enemy, nor
forget it for ever; but command it to be received by the holy
angels, and to be carried into paradise; that as it believed and
hoped in thee, it may be delivered from the pains of hell, and
inherit life everlasting; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
{321}
