MERCIFUL God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the resurrection and the life; in whom whosoever believeth shall live, though he die; and whosoever liveth, and believeth in him, shall not die eternally; who also hath taught us, (by his holy Apostle Saint Paul,) not to be sorry, as men without hope, for them that sleep in him; We meekly beseech thee, O Father, to raise us from the death of sin unto the life of righteousness; that, when we shall depart this life, we may rest in him, as our hope is this our brother doth; and that, at the general resurrection in the last day, we may be found acceptable in thy sight, and receive that blessing, which thy well-beloved Son shall then pronounce to all that love and fear thee, saying, Come, ye blessed children of my

Let us pray.

LORD, with whom do live the spirits of them that be and in whom the souls of them that be elected, after they be delivered from the burden of the flesh, be in joy and felicity; Grant unto this thy servant, that the sins which he committed in this world be not imputed unto him; but that he, escaping the gates of hell, and pains of eternal darkness, may ever dwell in the region of light with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in the place where is no weeping, sorrow, nor heaviness; and when that dreadful day of the general resurrection shall come, make him to rise also with the just and righteous, and receive this body again to glory, then made pure and incorruptible: set him on the right hand of thy Son Jesus Christ, among thy holy and elect, that then he may hear with them these most sweet and comfortable words; Come to me, ye blessed of my Father, possess the kingdom which hath been prepared for you from the beginning of the world. Grant this, we beseech thee, O merciful Father, through Jesus Christ our Mediator and Redeemer. Amen.

My soul is athirst for God, yea, even for the living God: when shall I come to appear before the presence of God?

My tears have been my meat day and night : while they daily say unto me, Where is now thy God?

Now when I think thereupon, I pour out my heart by myself: for I went with the multitude, and brought them forth unto the house of God, in the voice of praise and thanksgiving, among such as keep holy day.

Why art thou so full of heaviness (O my soul) and why art thou so unquiet within me?

Put thy trust in God, for I will yet give him thanks, for the help of his countenance.

My God, my soul is vexed within me : therefore will I remember thee concerning the land of Jordan, and the little hill of Hermonim.

One deep calleth another, because of the noise of thy water-pipes : all thy waves and storms are gone over me.

The Lord hath granted his loving-kindness on the day-time : and in the night season did I sing of him, and made my prayer unto the God of my life.

I will say unto the God of my strength, why hast thou forgotten me? why go I thus heavily, while the enemy oppresseth me?

My bones are smitten asunder, while mine enemies (that trouble me) cast me in the teeth; namely, while they say daily unto me, where is now thy God?

Why art thou so vexed (O my soul) and why art thou so disquieted within me?

O put thy trust in God, for I will yet thank him, which is the help of my countenance, and my God.

:

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be; world without end. Amen.

Collect.

MERCIFUL God, the Father of our Lord Jesu Christ, who is the resurrection and the life; In whom whosoever believeth shall live, though he die; And whosoever liveth and believeth in him, shall not die eternally; who also hath taught us (by his holy Apostle Paul) not to be sorry, as men without hope, for them that sleep in him; We meekly beseech thee (O Father) to raise us from the death of sin unto the life of righteousness; that, when we shall depart this life, we may sleep in him, (as our hope is this our brother doth;) and at the general resurrection in the last day, both we and this our brother departed, receiving again our bodies, and rising again in thy most gracious favour, may with all thine elect Saints, obtain eternal joy. Grant this, O Lord God, by the means of our advocate Jesus Christ; which, with thee and the holy Ghost, liveth and reigneth one God for ever. Amen.
